Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

In cattle, this gene and the hormone it produces regulates metabolism, fat deposition, and affects reproduction.

Genetic variability and sex-specific differences may play a role in sickle cell disease (SCD)-related pain; however, more research is needed. In the present study, saliva samples from 59 adults with ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

A new study finds the genetic backgrounds of people in the U.S. are "highly complex" and may differ from their self-defined racial or ethnic groups. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
