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 ...

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 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 ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and eventually death. While ...

Figure 3. Docking of ADNP_Glu931Glyfs12 to the PTB protein. (A) The results of docking ADNP_Glu931Glyfs12 (light orange) to the PTB protein (PDB code 3DXC, navy blue) in the 934-941 amino acid region ...

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 ...

Chong’s study, “Deciphering the exact breakpoints of structural variations using long sequencing reads with DeBreak,” was recently published in Nature Communications. UAB researchers have developed a ...

New research has found that people with a genetic defect in their ability to digest sucrose eat less cake, sweets and chocolate, which could hold the key to helping the wider population to eat less ...

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 ...
