Spoorti Gandhadmath carefully placed 3.5-inch (8.9-centimeter) pots on a shelf in a growth chamber. Within seven days of ...

A major cardiovascular risk factor is thickening of the heart walls (hypertrophy), which can result from high blood pressure—but is also linked to inherited diseases of the heart which can lead to ...

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 ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex autoimmune disease where an autoimmune attack destroys the pancreatic islet beta cells, which eventually results in a complete dependency on exogenous insulin. There ...

Nabsys 2.0, LLC (Nabsys), a pioneer in electronic genome mapping (EGM) technology, today announced a collaboration with ...

Researchers say results present “a concrete target to test whether changing how cocaine is metabolized can blunt the drive ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

The immune system depends on molecular alarms that detect danger inside cells. One of these alarms is STING, short for ...

Colossal Biosciences will sequence and cryopreserve genomes for all 2,300+ US endangered species in partnership with Fish and ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Gene mapping is the discipline devoted to determining the linear order and chromosomal coordinates of genes and other genomic elements. Traditional genetic mapping employs linkage analysis, in which ...

Chinese researchers have developed a technology that sheds light on how the three-dimensional (3D) organization of plant genomes influences gene expression—especially in photosynthesis. The research, ...
