A wave of spatial transcriptomics studies has produced gene-expression atlases that span entire organs and whole organisms, ...

The Cucurbitaceae family, comprising economically important crops such as cucumber, melon, and watermelon, exhibits remarkable phenotypic diversity in traits including fruit size, shape, and flesh ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

Over the past 15 years scientists have identified hundreds of regions in the human genome associated with heart attack risk. However, efficient ways to explore how these genetic variants are ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

A new Alzheimer's study has produced a first-of-its-kind genetic map, which could provide vital insights into the cause-and-effect sequences of gene activity that may be driving the disease in the ...

NASA scientists and academic colleagues are studying tiny hairs inside microorganisms to find clues about kidney disease. “To accomplish the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA has to ensure astronauts ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments. The ...
