A new Yale-led study provides one of the most detailed and comprehensive analyses to date of genetic variation in human ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Our parents' genes, even the ones we didn't inherit, leave a measurable lasting imprint on our lives. An international team ...

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 ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Scientists have created the most detailed cell map to date showing how genetic variation influences inflammatory bowel ...

Scientists have created the most detailed cell map to date showing how genetic variation influences inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), revealing the specific cells and genes that drive the disease.

A study led by researchers at King's College London and QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute has analyzed genetic data ...

Some variation is the result of differences in the surroundings, or what an individual does. This is called environmental variation. Humans, dogs and goldfish are examples of species. Different ...
