Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions.

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 ...

The researchers deployed a newly developed machine learning system called SIGNET – Statistical Inference on Gene Regulatory ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research team led by the University of California, Irvine has built the first genetic reference maps for short lengths of DNA repeated multiple times which are known to cause more than 50 lethal ...

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 ...

Genetics discoveries are rapidly identifying the people at greater risk for cancers and other diseases, but researchers at HealthPartners are concerned that they are happening too fast for doctors and ...

State University of New York in Albany will establish a research consortium that aims to develop new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease based on a genetic map of 1 million people with the disease, ...

A new study, published today in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights on the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint ...

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 ...
