A new computational tool developed by researchers has uncovered genetic evidence directly linking Alzheimer’s disease to the ...

The number of people living with dementia worldwide was estimated at 57 million in 2021 with nearly 10 million new cases ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

"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 ...

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 ...
