A perspective article in Genetics argues for an experimental paradigm change to capture complex gene effects in combination with environment and genetic background. To the Point: • Many traits and ...

The early history of genetics has to be re-written in the light of new findings, new research suggests. Scientists in Europe have found out that the traditional history of the 'rediscovery' of Gregor ...

Researchers discovered that selfish chromosomes exploit the Overdrive gene to destroy competing sperm during development, ...

High levels of inherited variation are observed for most traits and in most populations. Variation is maintained partly by mutation and partly by a balance of selective forces; however, we do not know ...

A new University of Utah-led study has discovered the mechanism behind a decades-old evolutionary mystery-how "selfish chromosomes" cheat the rules of genetic inheritance.

A Mendelian randomization study reveals PCSK9 inhibitors may reduce low back pain (LBP) risk, while HMGCR and NPC1L1 inhibitors show no significant association, providing genetic evidence for ...

Cannabis and other illicit drugs are associated with higher stroke risk, underscoring the importance of addressing substance ...

A new University of Utah-led study has discovered the mechanism behind a decades-old evolutionary mystery—how "selfish chromosomes" cheat the rules of genetic inheritance. The researchers found that ...

The recreational drugs cannabis, cocaine and amphetamines significantly increase the risk of stroke—including among younger ...
