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 ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit.

Nearly 5,000 people sampled their pets’ DNA to help scientists understand complex traits in the animals, providing insights into cat, dog, and human health. “I didn't know anything about dogs. I'm not ...

"However, many traits are more complex. We know, for example, that most disease-causing variants contribute to a variety of clinical outcomes, even among individuals carrying the same variant. In this ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, an international team of researchers developed a novel approach to infer parent-of-origin (PofO) of alleles without parental genomes. Genome-wide ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying the gene combinations underlying complex illnesses like diabetes, cancer and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

Scientists discover the key to how functions such as echolocation may evolve independently as different creatures adapt to ...
