The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

As a result of climate change, a multitude of abiotic and biotic stresses are emerging, and their combination, known as ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

MIAMI, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SelfDecode, a leader in AI-driven precision health and genetic analysis, supports the DNA Traits experience offered by MyHeritage, one of the world's largest ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

Accurately predicting complex agronomic traits remains a major bottleneck in crop breeding. This study demonstrates how optimized genomic prediction models can reliably forecast flowering time, yield ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

This study used Mendelian randomisation to test potential causal relationships between depression and 137 traits. Depression ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...

A new analysis of soldiers attempting to join the U.S. Army Special Forces suggests that specific genetic variations play a ...
