Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...

The Cucurbitaceae family, comprising economically important crops such as cucumber, melon, and watermelon, exhibits remarkable phenotypic diversity in traits including fruit size, shape, and flesh ...

Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

Researchers have shown that different epigenome proteins can produce distinct gene expression patterns from the same gene, offering new insights into genetic regulation. The findings could help ...

Researchers used CRISPR screens in primary human T cells to test the entire genome. They identified host factors that support ...

New spatial transcriptomics approach combined with machine learning maps gene expression across whole mouse body sections, capturing organs, tissues, and most cell types, and enabling system-wide ...

KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

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 ...

Over 1,000 genes may serve as possible treatment targets for individuals with kidney disease, according to a new study. By creating the most complete and detailed genetic 'map' of kidney function to ...

NASA scientists and academic colleagues are studying tiny hairs inside microorganisms to find clues about kidney disease. “To accomplish the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA has to ensure astronauts ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, ...
