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 ...

Shifting the focus from organ to biomarker has unlocked new options for rare and advanced cancers. Uneven efficacy, diagnostic access, and regulation still slow clinical rollout.

Even though farmers have been dealing with rice stink bugs as pests since the 1880s, entomologists are still getting to know ...

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have discovered key insights into the molecular basis of skin color variations among African populations. Their findings, published in Nature Genetics, ...

Small variations in DNA sequence can alter an organism’s response to the environment or susceptibility to disease. Interpreting the impact of genome sequence variation remains a research challenge.

An understanding of the origin and dynamics of heritable genetic variation within classical animal breeding programs is needed to provide the context for understanding the contributions and concerns ...

University of Vermont Professor Melissa Pespeni led a research team that explored how tiny sea creatures evolve. Her discovery provides hope that organisms in the ocean my be more resilient to the ...

Samples for the study were collected by researchers from Penn State, the Forest Service and other partners around the Oregon ash range, extending from California, Oregon and Washington into British ...

Scientists have mapped how genetics and life experiences leave lasting epigenetic marks on immune cells. The discovery helps explain why people respond so differently to the same infections and could ...
