BACKGROUND: Desmosomal gene variants (DGVs) have been associated with a diverse spectrum of phenotypic manifestations within ...

A new study proves that a type of genetic element called 'introners' are the mechanism by which many introns spread within and between species, also providing evidence of eight instances in which ...

Complex traits are influenced by genes and the environment, but especially the latter is difficult to pin down. This important study uses C. elegans to demonstrate that non-genetic differences in gene ...
