A comprehensive understanding of the genetic architecture of tree growth, a complex interplay of genetics between the plant's above- and below-ground parts, remains undefined in plant studies.

Whether we are predisposed to particular diseases may depend to a large extent on variations in our genomes, but the influence on the presentation of certain pathological traits of genetic variants ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

For many years, scientists have known that genetic variants, or differences in DNA code across people, play some role in neurological and psychiatric disorders. But the details were murky. Now, ...

Researchers compared a new genetic animal model of Down syndrome to the standard model and found the updated version to be enhanced. The new mouse model shows milder cognitive traits compared to a ...

Schizophrenia is more complicated than ever imagined. Advanced gene network analysis reveals how distant genetic variants work together to influence brain function and mental health. Scientists have ...

A group of researchers in the lab of Prof. Lucía Chávez Gutiérrez (VIB-KU Leuven) has unraveled the genetic contributions to familial Alzheimer's Disease development and revealed how specific ...

Article reviewed by Tristan Long, PhD from Wilfrid Laurier University. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. These organisms are also successful models because of their ...

In a recent article from Nature Genetics_, scientists raise concerns over the social impacts of recent advances in genomics - i.e. the study of genomes, or in other words, the genetic material of an ...
