Scientists have shown that one portion of the petunia’s genetic code can direct the creation of molecules behind the plant’s floral scent. One of the approaches used was viral-induced gene silencing, ...

Brain cells, or oligodendrocytes (green), in the hippocampus are marked with a genetic marker in the mouse brain in the study. These cells often deteriorate during aging. Gadek et al., Science ...

A study published March 27 in the journal Science finds that a unique and ancient spate of genetic mutations was key to the evolution of horses’ exceptional aerobic fitness. Together ...

Scientists have long known that a mix of life experiences, environmental factors, and a person’s genetic makeup contribute to ...

FLT1 is among 14 new genetic markers of fetal hemoglobin the scientists identified from GWAS data gathered and used with permission from 3,751 people with sickle cell disease. Fetal hemoglobin ...

Japanese researchers used a nonviral piggyBac system to genetically modify cynomolgus monkeys, enabling more accurate disease ...

We call this 'pan-genetics,' and it opens endless opportunities to bring many new fruits, foods, and flavors to dinner plates around the world." This research was supported by funding from the ...

the net effect of multiple genetic variants determined whether dogs were at high or low risk. The results are published today in the journal Science. "Studying the dogs showed us something really ...

Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine and eight other institutions in the United States, Africa and Europe say they have ...

A figure estimates that 90% of genetic variants associated with the production of fetal hemoglobin in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients of African ancestry are known, a key finding of the ...
