By stimulating macrophages—a type of white blood cell—with biological factors that mimic infection, researchers have ...

Understanding which genes are involved in healthy aging is the first step to developing effective therapeutics. New research helps fill in the genetic map.

High-density genetic maps are valuable genomic resources for population genetics. Here, we generated a high-quality and dense genetic map for an F1 poplar population using high-throughput NGS-based ...

In the past decade, there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of ...

The map uncovers more about the mechanisms of drug resistance, highlights DNA changes that may be potential treatment biomarkers, and identifies promising combination or second-line therapies.

“Beyond mapping the rich genetic history of French Canadians, the findings have significant implications for understanding the impact of migration on genetic variation and the broader history of ...

A project to map the gene regulation responsible for brain development takes some big first steps.

Novel genetic map identify genes that play a role in sarcoma development.

The first gene mapping study on human scalp hair whorls not only shows that hair whorl direction has a genetic basis, but also that it is affected by multiple genes. Four associated genetic ...

A research centre has mapped out Britain's genetic make-up and, in the process, revealed some interesting facts about the historical origins of its citizens ...
