The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

A new study suggests that the long-standing Mendelian view of genetics has some blind spots.

Serially cloned mice hit a genetic “dead end” by generation 58, underscoring that sex evolved for variation, purging harmful ...

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 ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

A large 23andMe-based GWAS found that common variants in GLP1R and GIPR help explain why some people lose more weight or ...

Researchers conduct large-scale studies with diverse groups to better understand the genetic factors that influence health and disease. The Million Veteran Program (MVP), for example, includes people ...

Two genetic variants may help explain differences in side effects and weight loss in patients taking GLP-1 drugs.
