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 Michigan State University researcher's new model for studying breast cancer could help scientists better understand why and where cancer metastasizes. Professor Eran Andrechek who teaches in the MSU ...

A new generation of artificial intelligence is starting to read the human genome with a fluency that would have sounded like science fiction a decade ago. Instead of scanning DNA for one mutation at a ...

In this week's genetics review, Al Rayner uses a comparison between a roadtrip in a 2026 versus a 2006 model HiLux as an analogy in illustrating genetic performance gains achievable through an ...

For many years, scientists have known that genetic variants, or differences in DNA code across people, play some role in neurological and psychiatric disorders. But the details were murky. Now, ...

Whether we are predisposed to particular diseases may depend to a large extent on variations in our genomes, but the influence on the presentation of certain pathological traits of genetic variants ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Researchers at Åbo Akademi University have identified a new molecular change in patients with colorectal cancer and developed a genetic disease model that forms tumors in the large intestine, ...
