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 ...

Today's biomedical researchers are relentlessly searching for genes that drive disease, with the goal of creating therapies that target those genes to restore health. When a single gene is the culprit ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying the gene combinations underlying complex illnesses like diabetes, cancer and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

A new computational method developed by scientists from the University of Chicago improves the detection of genes that are likely to be causal for complex diseases and biological traits. The method, ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing links left by traditional genetic studies. The technique could transform how ...

1. Amichai Berman (School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at Tel Aviv University), the PhD student leading the research. Researchers: “Genetic editing in crop plants is a complex process. Our ...

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 ...

A new study published in Nature provides evidence that some genetic traits are shaped not just by which variant a person inherits, but by which parent they inherit it from. By analyzing genetic data ...
