This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

Until recently, few would have questioned whether two tools, in particular — GenBank, the world’s largest repository of full genetic sequences, and the Sequence Read Archive, which comprises ...

When homology is not used to ensure that molecules are rejoined in the correct positions, there is some probability that genetic change such as copy number variation will result. These mechanisms ...

Your body is a collection of cells carrying thousands of genetic mistakes accrued over a lifetime—many harmless, some bad and at least a few that may be good for you Amber Dance, Knowable ...

Even though a large proportion of cancer patients carry genetic mutations that make them more susceptible to cancer, only a small percentage of them — and their family members — undergo ...

Scientists from a collaboration of Australian research institutions have proposed that editing multiple genetic variants in human embryos could significantly lower the likelihood of developing ...

Study finds surprising way that genetic mutation causes Huntington's disease, transforming understanding of the disorder Researchers studying brain cells from Huntington's patients show that the ...

Nearly 300 new genetic variants have been linked to depression, according to a new study that included a large sample of nearly 5 million people. The international team, led by researchers at the ...

A DNA test allows you to learn more about your heritage, health, genetic conditions, family history and potential genetic matches that may connect you with long-lost relatives. We tested popular ...
