A new analysis of soldiers attempting to join the U.S. Army Special Forces suggests that specific genetic variations play a ...

Birds have a dazzling display of patterns, from muted colors to vivid and striking hues. For a long time, scientists believed that the evolution of these traits was a slow process that took place when ...

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 ...

BEIJING, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have constructed the most comprehensive genetic map of the world's primary cotton crop to date. This breakthrough not only sheds light on how the plant ...

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

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Invited Expert Review, researchers from the University of Haifa have synthesized cutting-edge findings on Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), revealing how this complex ...

The literature presented in this review does not indicate a clinically relevant relationship between genetic variations in the VEGF system and the risk of CRC. Hence, these markers will probably not ...
