Scientists of the Biology Centre, Czech Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with University of Liverpool have found the ...

Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. This variation permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing ...

The study, "Rare genetic variation in Fibronectin 1 (FN1) protects against APOEε4 in Alzheimer's disease," was published ...

Why have bacteria never evolved complex multicellularity? A new hypothesis suggests that it could come down to how ...

In 2020, the black-footed ferret became the first endangered species in North America to be cloned in an effort to increase ...

One manufacturer of DNA microarrays, Affymetrix, now offers a chip containing approximately 1.8 million different genetic markers. When a fragment of DNA from a test sample hybridizes to a probe ...

Ongoing genetic research is also investigating other types of contributing genetic variation to the cause of CP and, as a result, the researchers expect that the overall genetic diagnosis rate is ...

Two newly discovered genetic variations can have a powerful effect on a person's risk for obesity, a new report says. Variants in the gene BSN, also known as Bassoon, can increase risk of obesity ...

Sunflowers aren't just beautiful symbols of summer—they are also economically significant, ranking as the fourth most ...

It is clear that host genetic differences also play a role in chlamydial disease outcome and key host polymorphisms are beginning to emerge from both human and experimental animal studies.
