“We know from similar previous experiments that genetic variation occurs or can occur ... and the hope is that we’ll have a ...

Renowned agricultural scientist K.C. Bansal elected as TWAS Fellow for advancing science in developing countries.

Researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) are helping uncover new ...

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are a cutting-edge tool in genetics, combining information from genetic markers across the genome to estimate a person's risk of developing certain diseases, such as ...

Muvalaplin significantly lowered lipoprotein(a) levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in high-risk adults.

Scientists have long pondered how these cells were able to avoid the constant fusion that would’ve ultimately destroyed their genetic variability, and now a team from the University of Chicago thinks ...

In On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin highlighted European oaks as an example of species variation. The advent of DNA ...

However, scientists have faced challenges in understanding why and how to best apply these restricted diets in humans. In an effort to mimic human genetic variation, researchers at The Jackson ...

Microbes profoundly impact evolution, shaping traits alongside genes. Holobiont biology highlights how hosts and microbes ...

One of the approaches is the use of insertion of genetic elements into the vector backbone which have shown to reduce ...
