Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...

By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D. A sweeping genetic analysis reveals when obesity is the common thread linking chronic diseases, and ...

Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are ...

The work provided a systematic understanding of how nightshade crops, including potatoes and tomatoes, adapt to stressful conditions at the level of entire gene networks, rather than individual genes, ...

Cells are constantly on the move, whether in a developing embryo or metastatic cancer. But how do cells adapt to new environments they encounter? Traditionally, scientists have believed that cells ...

A recent study challenges previous understandings of genetics' role in lifespan, suggesting a 50-55% genetic influence. It highlights how historical changes in mortality and improved living conditions ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic diseases. Although one of the two X chromosomes is ...

Hybridization between domestic animals and wildlife is a growing concern worldwide, particularly as feral pigs and wild boar ...

Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been linked to social behavior in humans, Ian Traniello at the University of ...
