A new study analyzing the association between an individual's genetics (genotype) and their observable characteristics resulting from the interaction of genetics and the environment (phenotype), ...

Of the more than 3,000 variants that have been identified in the NF1 gene, only a handful of specific variants can be correlated to certain NF1 symptoms. In this post, I’ll discuss the major known ...

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

Université de Strasbourg and partners report that adding structural variants and small insertion–deletion mutations to single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses raised trait heritability estimates by 14 ...

Humans have approximately 20,000 human protein-coding genes, and the proteins they express span a concentration range of ~12 logs. Yet only 0.1% of proteins contribute to 99% of the total plasma ...
