Wheat researchers are pioneering a new technique that promises to improve gene discovery for the globally important crop. Wheat researchers at the John Innes Centre are pioneering a new technique that ...

Global patterns of human DNA sequence variation (haplotypes) defined by common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have important implications for identifying disease associations and human traits.

Recently, scientists from Instituto Universitario de Conservación y Mejora de la Agrodiversidad Valenciana have provided further insights into tomato history and domestication using Procrustes ...

To date, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative pathogen of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has caused more than 93.21 million infections worldwide. As it ...

Long-read DNA sequencing technologies such as the Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore (ONT) platforms, have demonstrated enhanced detection of genomic variation, including Single ...

Haplotype-based risk models can lead to powerful methods for detecting the association of a disease with a genomic region of interest. In population-based studies of unrelated individuals, however, ...

Human genomes representing diverse human populations reveal a new and diverse array of previously unrecognized structural variants, researchers report. The findings provide fundamental insights into ...

Some sperm cells are ruthless manipulators that will literally poison their competition in the race to fertilize an egg, new research shows. "Sperm with the t-haplotype manage to disable sperm without ...

“The claimed advance proffered by Stanford, that the process yields a greater number of haplotype phase predictions, may constitute a new or different use of a mathematical process, but we are not ...
