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 ...

For many diseases and chronic conditions, an individual's genes play a role in their likelihood of developing the disease. While some inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, ...

The most common analytical method within population genetics is deeply flawed, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. This may have led to incorrect results and misconceptions about ...

A team led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the National Cancer Institute has developed a new algorithm for genetic risk-scoring for major diseases across diverse ...

With its length and multitude of folds and protrusions, the intestine represents the largest contact surface between our body and the food taken up from the outside. However, little is currently known ...

Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...

For the first time and with the help of CRISPR technology: A new large-scale genetic modification method makes it possible to reveal the role and properties of duplicated genes in plants The ...

Many human traits are influenced by multiple genes. Human genes can also carry slight variations in their gene sequences, which can have a wide range of effects. In some complex traits, those small ...

Genetic switches are gene regulatory networks that control gene expression. The researchers established a platform for creating genetic switches that could be applied to the development of ...

Virginia Tech researchers have found a new way to identify genetic targets useful for control of mosquito populations, potentially offering an alternative to insecticides. Their study, published in ...

The Idaho Fish and Game Department is implementing a new genetic-based method to determine Idaho’s wolf populations. Eric Cole USFWS Just a few years after the Idaho Department of Fish and Game ...
