Genetics influences who of us are more likely to experience a relationship breakdown, and who are more likely to remain ...

Phenotypic variation and genetic diversity are fundamental to the resilience and adaptability of plant populations. Phenotypic variation encompasses observable differences in morphology, physiology ...

A new study suggests that the long-standing Mendelian view of genetics has some blind spots.

Scientists have created the most detailed cell map to date showing how genetic variation influences inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), revealing the specific cells and genes that drive the disease.

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 ...

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 ...

Are human beings as unique as snowflakes? Not quite, but new research shows humans may have a lot more individuality than originally thought -- in fact, the genetic codes of people can vary by as much ...

Our parents' genes, even the ones we didn't inherit, leave a measurable lasting imprint on our lives. An international team ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have completed a massive genetic study that identifies key biological drivers of cocaine addiction, uncovering a potential new target for ...
