Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female ...

The work provided a systematic understanding of how nightshade crops, including potatoes and tomatoes, adapt to stressful conditions at the level of entire gene networks, rather than individual genes, ...

Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are ...

Apples rank among the world's most valuable fruit crops, with production spanning more than 100 countries. Some apple trees naturally develop into what farmers call 'spur-type' varieties -- compact ...

A recent study challenges previous understandings of genetics' role in lifespan, suggesting a 50-55% genetic influence. It highlights how historical changes in mortality and improved living conditions ...

Cells are constantly on the move, whether in a developing embryo or metastatic cancer. But how do cells adapt to new environments they encounter? Traditionally, scientists have believed that cells ...

A team of researchers has conducted the largest and most comprehensive genome-wide association study (GWAS) to date of ...

By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D. By analyzing bowel movement frequency in more than 268,000 people, researchers uncover how thiamine ...

Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been linked to social behavior in humans, Ian Traniello at the University of ...

UC Davis graduate student Jeffrey Groh has discovered how walnut trees are able to produce flowers of different sexes at different times in the same season. The genetic mechanism is similar to sex ...
