Earth's seasons look very different at locations not far from each other, 20 years' worth of satellite data reveals. Earth's seasonal cycles can vary dramatically across short distances, even at the ...

Summary: Using full genome sequencing data from more than 347,000 individuals, researchers quantified how much genetic differences explain human traits such as height, body mass index, fertility, and ...

A new study published in JAMA Cardiology shows familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) can be detected in newborns using a dried blood spot, a test used for other types of genetic screening in infants. The ...

ORONO, Maine — Humans may be experiencing one of the most unusual evolutionary changes in our species’ history, and it may have little to do with DNA. A new study from the University of Maine suggests ...

This study is led by Professors Huihui Li (Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, China), Liang Li (Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural ...

A new study published in Nature provides evidence that some genetic traits are shaped not just by which variant a person inherits, but by which parent they inherit it from. By analyzing genetic data ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying gene combinations underlying complex illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...
