Study has combined genome-wide data with plasma proteomics from a Ugandan cohort to map hundreds of genetic regulators of ...

Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head impacts (RHI). However, individuals with similar RHI exposure have shown differing pathology, suggesting ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital (Duncan NRI) have created a new way to measure genetic variants in the ...

There are a number of C. trachomatis gene products that exhibit variability and may modulate disease severity (Figure 3). The major categories of variable chlamydial gene products and their roles in ...

Scientist examining genetic testing results on a screen High-grade tumors do not directly evolve from lower-grade ones, but both likely emerge from a common, pre-malignant mutagenic field. A recent ...

A new study from the NIH’s All of Us program is shaking up long-held assumptions by revealing that genetic ancestry rarely aligns with racial labels — and that the interplay between biology and ...

Genetics play a role in low testosterone for some men, but underlying causes vary widely. Many genes influence testosterone ...
