Every cell in a colon tumor carries two intertwined layers of information: the DNA sequence inherited from parents and a ...

Malaria remains a major public-health burden in tropical regions, and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) based on Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) are widely used in endemic settings ...

Humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes that carry instructions for assembling the proteins that do the work of cells. Work led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital found that children who ...

The pull toward a sugary drink or a plate of fries is often chalked up to willpower, but new genetic research suggests part of that craving is written into a person’s DNA. Analyzing the genes of ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Invited Expert Review, researchers from the University of Haifa have synthesized cutting-edge findings on Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), revealing how this complex ...

Protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks accurately map environmental perturbations to their molecular consequences in cells, yet the effects of natural genetic variation on PPIs remain poorly ...

People from isolated parts of the U.K. could have variations in their genetic code that increase their chance of developing certain diseases, a study suggests. The most genetically distinct ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators have discovered inherited genetic variations that are associated with rapid hearing loss in young cancer patients treated with the drug cisplatin.

A research team has mapped genetic variation underlying catechin composition and galloylation across a diverse collection of tea plants. By ...

Early genetic testing can help identify the causes of unexplained developmental delays in children, enabling timely treatment ...
