A genetic mutation in horses that would typically halt protein production has become a molecular asset. Researchers at Johns ...

It is known from model organisms that genes' effects on traits are often modulated by environmental variables, but similar gene-by-environment (GxE) interactions have been difficult to detect using ...

which was relatively recent in genetic terms, he told Live Science in an email. While the new research charts the emergence of traits like lighter skin, hair and eyes, the reasons these traits could ...

In research going back decades, some researchers have studied this issue and identified ancient humans who displayed ADHD traits ... honed in on DRD4 7R, a genetic variant that researchers ...

Most common diseases and most quantitative traits that can be measured in human populations are complex genetic traits. That is, many genetic and nongenetic factors interact to determine the final ...

One camp argues the Lapedo Child is the progeny of human and Neanderthal parents, while the other faction contends they simply display genetic traits inherited from interbreeding further back in ...

Researchers used a novel method of radiocarbon dating to figure out the age of the Lapedo child, who had both Neanderthal and human traits. Skip to main content Open menu Close menu ...

As with human obesity, no single gene determined whether the dogs were prone to obesity; the net effect of multiple genetic variants determined whether dogs were at high or low risk. "Studying the ...

The scientists, led by Yin Shen, PhD, professor in the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences and the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics, studied the effects of HARs in artificial neurons derived from ...

“Once you’ve done the gene editing, all it takes is one seed to start a revolution,” said co-lead author Michael Schatz, a geneticist at Johns Hopkins University who worked on the Telomere-to-Telomere ...
