Recent advancements in genetic sequencing are a potential game-changer for newborn screening, swiftly assessing a comprehensive range of monogenic disorders. Yet, the effectiveness of genetic sequencing as an alternative method has not been studied.

Ecologists have demonstrated that the genetic material that species shed into their environments can reveal not only the presence of the species but also a broad range of information about the genetics of whole populations.

With a revolutionizing novel system that combines brain organoid technology and intricate genetics, researchers can now comprehensively test the effect of multiple mutations in parallel and at a single-cell level within human brain organoids.

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have discovered that a gene called Rasip1 is intimately involved in the creation of blood cells.

An international consortium of scientists is using an unprecedentedly large database of canine DNA to take an unbiased look at how our furry friends evolved into the various breeds we know and love.

Scientists have demonstrated that the respiratory tract microbiome composition, pathogen load and clinical interventions influence the severity of bacterial pneumonia.

Australian researchers have uncovered new genetic insights into Staphylococcus aureus, revealing what makes the bacterium so dangerous when it enters the blood.

Relatively little was known about the mechanisms underlying how these mutated HSCs expand to cause cancer. In the current study researchers from the University of Oxford explored how chronic inflammation has a previously unknown effect on TP53-mutant HSCs in cancer development.

A new study has revealed key insights into the role of epigenetics in causing multiple myeloma, a high-risk blood cancer. These insights could enhance treatment and diagnose of the condition.

Biologists have unraveled some of the evolutionary mysteries of the tomato, revealing how they evolved their distinctive blend of color, sweetness, acidity and aroma.
