Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict habitat suitability but their usefulness and accuracy for inferring population health is still debated. Here, we evaluate whether ...

A major analysis suggests Phelan-McDermid syndrome, a genetic disorder closely linked to autism, may affect about 1 in 7,300 ...

AlphaGenome Atlas could make it easier for geneticists to access powerful AI, but its predictions aren't always accurate.

Genetic testing involves the detection of specific alleles, mutations, genotypes or karyotypes that are associated with heritable traits, diseases or predispositions to disease for the individual or ...

Andrew covers the biopharma industry, scientific research, and public health across the continent. You can reach Andrew confidentially on Signal at drewqjoseph.71. For researchers studying aging — and ...

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 research team led by Zhen-Xing Endowed Professor Jian Yang at the School of Life Sciences, Westlake University, has developed a pangenome-informed genome assembly (PIGA) method. By combining a ...

The abnormality is estimated to occur in 20 to 30 percent of Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods, but researchers still don't know ...

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...

Bowel habits aren't exactly dinner-table talk. But they reflect how quickly the gut moves things along, and when that goes wrong, people can experience constipation, diarrhea, or irritable bowel ...

This research stream focuses on understanding how surrounding ecological environments have evolutionary consequences for organisms. Thus, students ask questions aimed to better understand the ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...
