Scientists at USC have definitively demonstrated that large sets of variations in the genetic code that do not individually appear to have much effect can collectively produce significant changes in ...

An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource to identify those with a genetic risk for elevated "bad" cholesterol—a ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers have created the first comprehensive genetic resource to identify people at ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource ...

Since the first sequencing of a human genome more than 20 years ago, the study of human genomes has relied almost exclusively on a single reference genome to which others are compared to identify ...

That tiny crease in your earlobe you never noticed. The slightly unusual curve at the top of your ear. The way your ears attach to your head. These seemingly trivial features might actually be ...
