Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

A study expands the list of known genes with circadian variation and provides the first comprehensive list of genes with seasonal variation in each tissue. Tissues in the thoracic cavity, such as the ...

Small variations in DNA sequence can alter an organism’s response to the environment or susceptibility to disease. Interpreting the impact of genome sequence variation remains a research challenge.

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

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 ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

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 ...

As koalas in southern Australia have grown from a few hundred to almost half a million, the marsupials show signs of regaining lost genetic variation.

Genetic testing for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can tell doctors if someone has leukemia, what type they may have, and whether treatment is working. The tests look for atypical changes in certain ...
