The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

A new study by UCLA Health published in Cell presents a major advancement in the future of personalized medicine by pinpointing new connections between people's genes, disease risk and medicine ...

Genetic variation underpins the diversity observed within and among species, while genomic analysis provides the framework to unravel the complexity of these variations. Advances in high‐throughput ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

Researchers have identified eight new genetic variations in the human genome that could be linked to an increased risk of developing myeloma. The findings provide additional evidence and build on ...

Chong’s study, “Deciphering the exact breakpoints of structural variations using long sequencing reads with DeBreak,” was recently published in Nature Communications. UAB researchers have developed a ...

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 ...

Genetic testing identifies germline mutations, while genomic testing analyzes somatic mutations in tumors, influencing treatment options. Broader testing criteria are expanding access to genetic ...

Treatment for irritable bowel syndrome, IBS, often includes restricting certain foods, such as carbohydrates, but that doesn’t work for everyone. A new study has found that there might be a genetic ...
