Are human beings as unique as snowflakes? Not quite, but new research shows humans may have a lot more individuality than originally thought -- in fact, the genetic codes of people can vary by as much ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s ...

Population genetics explores the distribution and change in frequency of alleles within and between populations, while genetic diversity underpins the capacity of species to adapt to environmental ...

The genotype of an organism is inherited from its parents through the process of reproduction. During sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of the genetic material to the offspring, ...

Researchers at Texas Children's Neurological Research Institute (NRI) and Baylor College of Medicine have developed a ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 in the journal PLOS Biology ...

A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study of how these biological traits are inherited. A little over half of ...

1 The extinction vortex, is genetic variation related to extinction?; 2 How to measure genetic variation; 3 Inbreeding, geographic subdivision, and gene flow; 4 Genetic diversity in changing ...

Researchers have introduced a new analytical approach that could improve the interpretation of genetic variation in ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...
