Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve which connects the heart to the rest of the body. It affects millions of people and can be fatal if left untreated. At present, there are no ...

Researchers have developed a genomic model that could improve predictions of long-term recurrence in a common form of breast ...

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

To better understand how evolutionary pressures have helped shape genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana, Detlef Weigel from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif., and ...

A study suggests psychiatric disorders can share the same genetic signatures and that they may stem from shared biological mechanisms.

Gene editing may hold the key to rescuing endangered species—not just by preserving them, but by restoring their lost genetic diversity using DNA from museum specimens and related species. Scientists ...

Without bumble bees, a flowering plant that can self-pollinate lost substantial genetic variation within only nine generations, an experimental study found. A group of 'selfing' monkeyflower plants ...

Richard Border receives funding from the National Institutes of Health. Noah Zaitlen receives funding from the NIH, NSF, DoD, and CZI. The idea that correlation does not imply causation is a ...
