Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

AlphaGenome is a DNA sequence model that advances regulatory variant-effect prediction to understand genome function.

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Research into genetic variation and wool traits in sheep and goats has revealed critical insights into the structural composition and quality of animal fibres. Studies have focused on ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital (Duncan NRI) have created a new way to measure genetic variants in 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 ...

For the first time, researchers at King's College London and the University of Florence have identified the specific genetic ...

By studying genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, scientists have with unprecedented detail revealed why fewer than ...
