For many diseases and chronic conditions, an individual's genes play a role in their likelihood of developing the disease. While some inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, ...

Engineers at the University of California have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the ...

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...

The Idaho Fish and Game Department is implementing a new genetic-based method to determine Idaho’s wolf populations. Eric Cole USFWS Just a few years after the Idaho Department of Fish and Game ...

A team led by researchers has developed a new algorithm for genetic risk-scoring for major diseases across diverse ancestry populations that holds promise for reducing health care disparities. A team ...

Cyanobacteria are a key species in Earth's history, as they introduced atmospheric oxygen for the first time. The analysis of their evolution therefore provides important insights into the formation ...

Researchers have developed a new "color-coded" genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes. This innovation can help solve a major bottleneck in mosquito control ...
