As climate change intensifies droughts and other environmental stresses, maintaining crop productivity has become a major ...

A team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) has developed a comprehensive set of innovative genetic tools and mouse lines, called iFlpMosaics, designed to enhance the ...

A genetic difference carried by nearly one in three people may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 and lung fibrosis by ...

Scientists have now created an encyclopedia of gene function for all known human genes that code for protein. This data uses the most current and reliable data, and it has also been released on a ...

A new resource from the Gene Ontology Consortium, a comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes, has been completed and released on a new website. For the first ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, ...

A fundamental goal of modern biology is building models that can infer phenotype from genotype. Such models are also key to a mechanistic understanding of disease heterogeneity and to tailoring ...

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, when occurring together in a gene, can restore function—proving a decades-old ...

How our genes work together to build our cells, organs and bodies, and how mutations in many genes contribute to disease remain fundamental questions in genetics. Despite more than a century of ...

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

A gene can vanish, and life can go on. That is one of the most striking lessons from a sweeping new analysis of 173,303 ...

A research team from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has shown that a one-time administration of a gene therapy ...
