A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...

Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

Understanding how genes interact to influence complex traits, such as Body Mass Index or total cholesterol levels, in humans is important for basic biology and precision medicine. Such interactions ...

Chimpanzees are adapted to live across diverse habitats in Africa, but little is known about the potential adaptation of chimps in different environments. A new study has found that these apes possess ...

Your genes code for all your traits. Some genes are dominant and expressed if you receive a copy from one parent. Others are recessive and only apparent if you receive a copy from both parents. Genes ...

Genetic correlation estimates typically assume that mating is random. But in the real world, partners tend to pair up because of many shared interests and social structures. Many estimates of how ...
