A comparative genomic study of 12 pig family species reveals lineage-specific immune gene loss, interleukin-1 family ...

Population geneticist Sohini Ramachandran uses computational approaches and develops new techniques to explore human genetic variation and diversity.

Wild cranberries across North America carry two distinct genetic toolkits shaped by Ice Age climate shifts—and modern ...

Malaria remains a major public-health burden in tropical regions, and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) based on Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) are widely used in endemic settings ...

A streamlined tomato pangenome has exposed genetic switches that shape fruit size, flavor-related chemistry, and resistance to fungal disease. By combining genomic variation from a cultivated tomato ...

Blood samples are often used to evaluate gene expression in people. But those samples only provide a snapshot of gene activity at one moment in time. This point has been emphasized by a recent paper ...

A breakthrough method for analyzing the DNA of centuries-old plant samples has given scientists an edge in combating the spread of invasive plants. Researchers from Monash University and the ...

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

New research reveals how a common gene variation boosts salivary enzymes, especially in people with diabetes, hinting at a possible biological link between starch digestion and blood glucose ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - New research from the Cleveland Clinic may explain why some people experience significant weight loss with GLP-1 medications, such as semaglutide injections marketed under brand ...

Freckles are often caused by variations in a particular gene that affects melanin. They are common and usually harmless. If you have concerns about any marks on your skin, consult a dermatologist for ...
