Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...

Researchers have unveiled two major breakthroughs: a gene network map linked to Parkinson's disease and a new understanding of how early proteins folded with limited amino acids. The Parkinson's study ...

Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

The Cucurbitaceae family, comprising economically important crops such as cucumber, melon, and watermelon, exhibits remarkable phenotypic diversity in traits including fruit size, shape, and flesh ...

KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

An international team of scientists, including from Rothamsted Research, have developed a new method to improve the accuracy of gene mapping in complex organisms—a breakthrough that could enhance ...

Researchers have created the first large-scale genetic map of feline cancers, sequencing nearly 500 tumors across 13 cancer types. The study uncovered mutations with striking similarities to those in ...

Over 1,000 genes may serve as possible treatment targets for individuals with kidney disease, according to a new study. By creating the most complete and detailed genetic 'map' of kidney function to ...

NASA scientists and academic colleagues are studying tiny hairs inside microorganisms to find clues about kidney disease. “To accomplish the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA has to ensure astronauts ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries that use these technologies only focus on one organ or one small area of ...
