Understanding the interaction between genetic and epigenetic variation remains a challenge due to confounding environmental factors. We propose that human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are an ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

L. olgensis, a species within the genus Larix (Pinaceae), is a major tree species used for afforestation and timber production in northeastern China. It possesses high economic and ecological value, ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

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 ...

A comprehensive analysis of 173,303 genomes from Pakistan, published today in Nature, is upending how scientists understand ...

April 9 (Reuters) - Hello Health Rounds readers! Today we feature a pair of studies that took a deeper dive into the effects of GLP-1 drugs being widely used for weight loss and diabetes. We also ...

Earth’s biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent “sixth mass extinction” threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity – or variation – within ...

Whether you are lucky enough to have a cat companion or must merely live this experience vicariously through cat videos, Felis catus is a familiar and comforting presence in our daily lives. Unlike ...
