A significant advancement in knowledge of the link between cognition and genetics has been made thanks to a study led by ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome ... meaning it can be inherited from just one parent -- of many gene mutations. The condition can lead to complications as severe as ...

Cutting-edge editing techniques are accelerating efforts to create high-yield, resilient varieties of major agricultural products.

Thanks to DNA mapping, these discoveries pave the way for a broader understanding of the ways in which genetic alterations ...

In 1970, Japanese-American biologist Susumu Ohno proposed that the main source of new genes is gene duplication. When the body’s genome has two copies of the same gene, one copy can continue ...

Copy number variants (CNVs) arise by homologous recombination (HR) between repeated sequences (recurrent CNVs) or by non-homologous recombination mechanisms that occur throughout the genome (non ...
