Congenic mouse strains—used for decades in immunology research and assumed to be genetically identical outside of a marker locus—have been found to contain previously unrecognized genetic ...

By having demonstrated that eyebrow variation is determined by both shared and distinct genetic factors across continental populations, our findings underline the need for studying populations of ...

Genes that modulate aging, lifespan Date: October 5, 2022 Source: University of Tennessee Health Science Center Summary: Scientists are exploring the elaborate interplay between genes, sex, growth ...

Descriptions of human genetic variation given thirty years ago have held up well, considering the substantial accrual of DNA sequence data in the interim. Most importantly, estimates of between ...

“Since the current effort in genomics is to move from a European-Caucasian base to a global representation, Giraffe can better define genetic variation in non-white populations and, as a result ...

Genetic Variation in GRIK4 and the Implications for Antidepressant Treatment . Silvia Paddock. Pharmacogenomics. 2008;9(2):133-135. Clinical depression is one of the leading causes of long-term ...

These limitations to genetic variation can endanger and even cause extinction in some populations. Knowing how to increase allelic variation, or at the very least maintain it at current levels, is ...

“Among those with the pathogenic TTR Val122Ile genetic variation, the heart may gradually become unable to function correctly, which will lead to heart failure and ultimately death,” said Arora, an ...
