Are human beings as unique as snowflakes? Not quite, but new research shows humans may have a lot more individuality than originally thought -- in fact, the genetic codes of people can vary by as much ...

Genetic variation underpins the diversity observed within and among species, while genomic analysis provides the framework to unravel the complexity of these variations. Advances in high‐throughput ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve, which connects the heart to the rest of the body. It affects millions of ...

Humans were isolated in southern Africa for about 100,000 years, which caused them to "fall outside the range of genetic variation" seen in modern-day people, a new genetic study reveals. The finding ...

Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

A recent study highlights how DNA microarray technology enables high-throughput gene analysis, supporting variation detection, expression ...
