A preliminary case-control study reports that the G allele of the oxytocin receptor SNP rs53576 is far more common in type 2 ...

Researchers have unveiled Genetic Probabilistic Circuits, a deep generative model that captures long-range genetic ...

The effects of disease-associated genetic variants on gene expression and genome accessibility have been analysed together.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
