The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, single linear reference genomes (such as GRCh38) have served as the foundation for biomedical research. However, the genetic backgrounds of human ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

A research team led by Zhen-Xing Endowed Professor Jian Yang at the School of Life Sciences, Westlake University, has ...

A study by researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute, and Yale University has identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

The next ISG workshop will be held in Boulder, Colorado, March 3rd-7th 2025. The course is planned to include sessions on: causes of variation; biometrical genetics; UNIX/R scripting; whole-genome ...

A new global review shows countries taking very different approaches to regulating polygenic embryo testing A human embryo ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...
