Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

When the genomes of parents come together to create the genome of a child, their DNA recombines; similar parts are rearranged so that a child carries sections of their parents genomes that have been ...

In most higher organisms, including humans, every cell carries two versions of each gene, which are referred to as alleles. Each parent passes on one allele to each offspring. As they are linked ...

This Collection contains descriptions of sequence, genetic marker, variant, and recombination data relevant to genetics, population genetics and population genomics. Datasets for SNPs, allele ...

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying ...

A study published in Nature has established the first direct link between common genetic variants in mothers and the risk of ...

The Google DeepMind research team is developing a new AI model called ' AlphaGenome,' which can analyze long DNA sequences up to one million characters long at a time and predict 11 major genomic ...

Recombination is the process by which pieces of DNA are broken and repaired (recombined) to produce new versions of DNA sequences (alleles). The researchers say that their new method of gene editing ...

For the first time, scientists have identified genetic variants that increase the risk of aneuploidy, in which cells have an ...

Researchers at the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences have discovered that a little-known protein called ATF7IP2 helps to inactivate the X and Y chromosomes during cell divisions that lead to ...
