While their paper still faces peer review, a group of researchers have concluded that their study indicates a gene variation may contribute to catastrophic breakdown risk in horses. According to a ...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms--variations at specific nucleotide positions in the genome sequences of two individuals--are perhaps the most common form of genetic diversity; it is estimated that ...

Research into genetic variation and wool traits in sheep and goats has revealed critical insights into the structural composition and quality of animal fibres. Studies have focused on ...

Small differences in DNA sequence are thought to account for the wide variation between people. In the November 23 Science, Nila Patil and researchers at Perlegen Sciences Inc. in California, suggest ...

HOUSTON - Eighteen single-point genetic variations indicate risk of recurrence for early-stage head and neck cancer patients and their likelihood of developing a second type of cancer, researchers at ...

Cluster headaches, anxiety and depression can be debilitating for people living with these conditions. Psychedelic drugs have shown benefits as treatments for these conditions in clinical studies, but ...

In Hispanic women, four gene variants are linked to spontaneous preterm birth, according to abstracts presented by researchers at Yale School of Medicine and Washington University at the Society for ...

Structural variants (SVs) reach up to the megabase scale and account for 10 times as many variants as single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human genome. They contribute to a range of normal and ...

Study Shows How Melting Point Analysis Infers the Presence of and Identifies SNPs The melting temperature (T m) of a PCR product is dependent on both the length and sequence of the DNA. Melting curve ...

In a recent study published in Nature Genetics, researchers analyzed genome-wide genotype data from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) expanding samples from Mass General Brigham BioBank (MGB) and ...
