The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Small variations in DNA sequence can alter an organism’s response to the environment or susceptibility to disease. Interpreting the impact of genome sequence variation remains a research challenge.

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...
