BACKGROUND: Vascular aging is an important phenotype characterized by structural and geometric remodeling. Some individuals ...

Genetic changes can signal evidence of disease, but pinpointing which genes and what's changed can be difficult.

When most growers plant corn, they expect perfect, uniform rows and plump and pearly yellow kernels lining the cob. But a ...

It's known that female guppies prefer orange, and unusual, patterns in their male partners, but the team found that the color ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Binary polymorphisms associated with the non-recombining region of the human Y chromosome (NRY) preserve the paternal genetic legacy of our species that has persisted to the present, permitting ...

Genetic variation as an adjustment to environmental changes. Genetic variation allows Chlamydia trachomatis to exploit diverse niches within a host (tissue tropism) and to avoid, escape or resist ...

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 ...
