This story is one of many exploring recent advances in the science of longevity and aging. The following few articles in the series, including this one, will focus on the relationship between genetics ...

The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a globally significant crop whose genetic improvement is constrained by its complex hexaploid genome, high heterozygosity and outcrossing nature. Recent ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

An international team of researchers has shed light on why mental health conditions often occur together. Researchers analyzed data from more than 6 million people to explore the connections among ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

Advances in genetic technologies have enabled researchers to find regions of the genome that are linked to disease, but it has sometimes been difficult .. | Genetics And Genomics ...

WASHINGTON — The first published map of human genetic differences offers a major advance toward truly personalized medicine, from predicting who will get what disease to finding ways of choosing the ...

Researchers have determined the gene mutation responsible for an observable trait in bison -- albinism. A research team led by scientists from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical ...

When someone is diagnosed with depression and anxiety, it rarely surprises their clinician. When someone with schizophrenia has mood symptoms, it rarely surprises their family. Comorbidity has always ...
