The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

As a result of climate change, a multitude of abiotic and biotic stresses are emerging, and their combination, known as ...

“Some genetic diseases are relatively simple, with an essentially one-to-one relationship between the presence of a genetic variant — or a change in a person’s DNA that differs across people — and the ...

Can narcissism be inherited, or is it shaped by life experiences? Science shows both genes and environment influence narcissistic traits.

The next ISG workshop will be held in Boulder, Colorado, March 3rd-7th 2025. The course is planned to include sessions on: causes of variation; biometrical genetics; UNIX/R scripting; whole-genome ...
