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 ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

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 ...

An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In an extraordinary achievement of advanced multiplexed genome engineering, Colossal Biosciences announces the birth of the Colossal Woolly Mouse—mice engineered to express ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

A new study published in Scientific Reports suggests that the connection between a young adult’s cognitive ability and their future socioeconomic status is largely driven by their genes. The findings ...
