For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

Understanding inheritance patterns in polyploid crops has long posed technical and financial challenges, particularly in species like tetraploid blueberry. This study introduces a cost-effective, ...

MPN-BP transformation is driven by sequential mutations disrupting genomic stability, with TP53 mutations being strong predictors of progression. TP53 mutations confer a selective growth advantage, ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

This study abroad program is designed to explore the intersection of genetics, culture, ethics, and public policy in a global context. London and Scotland offer uniquely rich educational environments ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...
