Researchers at the University of California have created a novel data structure and compression method that allows ...

PanMAN data structures compress pangenomes massively, encode evolutionary histories, and enable scalable analysis of millions of genomes.

Engineers at the University of California have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the ...

Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head impacts (RHI). However, individuals with similar RHI exposure have shown differing pathology, suggesting ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital (Duncan NRI) have created a new way to measure genetic variants in the ...

There are a number of C. trachomatis gene products that exhibit variability and may modulate disease severity (Figure 3). The major categories of variable chlamydial gene products and their roles in ...

Even a single gene, reshuffled or regulated in new ways, can fuel repeated bursts of evolutionary innovation, according to a recent study of wheatear birds. A study was recently published in the ...

Scientist examining genetic testing results on a screen High-grade tumors do not directly evolve from lower-grade ones, but both likely emerge from a common, pre-malignant mutagenic field. A recent ...
