Nearly 90% of the genetic variation associated with anorexia nervosa and binge eating was not explained by BMI, pointing to ...

Researchers have found a hidden source of genetic diversity in human sperm, which occurs earlier in sperm development than previously thought.

A new study led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign scientists reveals critically low genetic variation in one of the country's primary breeding stocks for corn. The finding relates ...

Epistasis arises when alleles at one locus modify the phenotypic expression of alleles at another, generating non-additive contributions to trait variation. In natural populations, genetic variance ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

A sweeping genomic analysis reveals how psychiatric disorders cluster into five biological families, exposing shared pathways and pinpointing where their genetic roots diverge. Study: Mapping the ...

A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows a lack of genetic variance in corn across the corn belt, potentially posing a major problem for farmers in the ...

The DNA of Asian elephants tells a concerning story. Although all four subspecies are under pressure, there are considerable ...
