Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a globally important tropical fruit valued for its nutrition and medicinal properties, yet its genetic diversity has been incompletely understood. In a new study, ...

Université de Strasbourg and partners report that adding structural variants and small insertion–deletion mutations to single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses raised trait heritability estimates by 14 ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

A landmark study harnesses long-read sequencing to reveal vast, previously undetected structural variations in human DNA, reshaping our understanding of genetics and disease potential. Study: ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...
