Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...

PanMAN data structures compress pangenomes massively, encode evolutionary histories, and enable scalable analysis of millions of genomes.

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 ...

Engineers at the University of California have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the ...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head impacts (RHI). However, individuals with similar RHI exposure have shown differing pathology, suggesting ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

A number of studies have highlighted that ethnicity is an important factor influencing the genetic variability of some CYP450 enzymes and that human adaptation could have a role in shaping the genetic ...

There are a number of C. trachomatis gene products that exhibit variability and may modulate disease severity (Figure 3). The major categories of variable chlamydial gene products and their roles in ...

A new study finds the genetic backgrounds of people in the U.S. are "highly complex" and may differ from their self-defined racial or ethnic groups. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
