The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

Serially cloned mice hit a genetic “dead end” by generation 58, underscoring that sex evolved for variation, purging harmful ...

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 ...

Two genetic variants may help explain differences in side effects and weight loss in patients taking GLP-1 drugs.

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 ...

New findings could partially help explain why some people appear to lose weight more quickly than others while taking the ...

Researchers conduct large-scale studies with diverse groups to better understand the genetic factors that influence health and disease. The Million Veteran Program (MVP), for example, includes people ...
