A large Czech case-control study finds that carriers of the T allele of the SFTPD rs721917 variant may be modestly protected ...

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 ...

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 ...
