The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

A study by researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute, and Yale University has identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human ...

Today's biomedical researchers are relentlessly searching for genes that drive disease, with the goal of creating therapies that target those genes to restore health. When a single gene is the culprit ...

An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...
