Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center and Human Genome Sequencing Center investigated the extent to which forms of genetic variation called germline or ...

Several genetic variations were recovered in individuals during remission compared to those in active disease. Recovered features included reduction of plasma and cell cycle signatures and increase of ...

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 ...

Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...

You have your mother’s eyes and your father’s smile, but genetics is much more than just what’s on the surface. In a study that spans more than a decade, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have ...

June 14, 2010 — Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have nearly 20% more gene copy number variations (CNVs) overall and more than 60% more CNVs in genes associated with ...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - More than 100 small genetic variations affect a child's response to treatment for the most common type of childhood cancer, a finding that might lead to better treatments, U.S.

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 ...

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 ...

Even as it's become clear that an inherited susceptibility to some cancers is more common than once thought, genetic testing of family members of cancer patients hasn't increased as much as experts ...

Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

A new study identifies 18 genome regions that influence tooth size and shape, of which 17 have not been linked to our ...
