Scientists have created the most detailed cell map to date showing how genetic variation influences inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), revealing the specific cells and genes that drive the disease.

The research identified likely disease-driving genes at more than half of known IBD risk regions, highlighting new ...

New study finds two next-generation whole-genome sequencing systems deliver broadly similar accuracy in detecting genetic variants. Read more.

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 ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to ...

Genetic divergence and adaptive variation constitute the foundation of evolutionary change in natural populations. Divergence arises when populations accumulate distinct allele frequencies through ...

Genetics influences who of us are more likely to experience a relationship breakdown, and who are more likely to remain ...

Some variation is the result of differences in the surroundings, or what an individual does. This is called environmental variation. Humans, dogs and goldfish are examples of species. Different ...
