For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Life is precious, and many of us try to do everything “right” to live longer. We eat better, move more, avoid pollutants, ...

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 ...

This multidisciplinary project integrates computational biology, structural modelling, population genomics, and AI. It will provide new mechanistic insights into how coding variation and PTMs ...

Genes may play a bigger role in living a longer life, while lifestyle and luck still shape the outcome, according to a new study.

1 The extinction vortex, is genetic variation related to extinction?; 2 How to measure genetic variation; 3 Inbreeding, geographic subdivision, and gene flow; 4 Genetic diversity in changing ...

Genome editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 have transformed biology, medicine, and agriculture, but concerns remain about unintended edits at off-target DNA sites. These off-target effects can cause ...

Genetic data show that 14 psychiatric diagnoses cluster into five families of shared risk, explaining why conditions like depression and anxiety often occur together.

New study reveals a key melon gene that controls fruit length, unlocking smarter breeding and potential nutritional gains.
