Research into genetic variation and wool traits in sheep and goats has revealed critical insights into the structural composition and quality of animal fibres. Studies have focused on ...

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head impacts (RHI). However, individuals with similar RHI exposure have shown differing pathology, suggesting ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

By studying genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, scientists have with unprecedented detail revealed why fewer than ...
