A new Alzheimer's study has produced a first-of-its-kind genetic map, which could provide vital insights into the cause-and-effect sequences of gene activity that may be driving the disease in the ...

Researchers headed by a team at the University of California, Irvine, Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have built what they suggest is the first cell type-specific gene regulatory ...

Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...

Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions. Yet breeding improved varieties—plants that are more resilient, produce ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...

Autism spectrum disorder is complex; it presents differently in different patients, and the causes are still unclear, even though hundreds of small changes in gene sequences have been linked to an ...

Researchers have created detailed genetic maps that show how large networks of genes drive disease, filling in long-missing biological gaps. The breakthrough could change how scientists identify and ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing links left by traditional genetic studies. The technique could transform how ...

University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments. The ...
