Associating phenotypes with genotypes is the fundamental aim of genetics. Linkage analysis and association analysis are the two principal experimental strategies commonly used by researchers to ...

Mice and rats are a fundamental component of drug discovery research. Standard outbred stocks and inbred strains of rodents are used extensively for drug safety and pharmacokinetic testing. Our ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation awarded two contracts to develop specific aspects of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) technology for additional forensic DNA testing ...

Genetic markers such as fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP), simple sequence repeat (SSR), and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provide unique identifiers for individual organisms. This aids ...

Flowering date is a critical determinant of fruit production in perennial crops, influencing yield stability and adaptation ...

Ginseng (Panax ginseng), long valued as the “king of medicinal plants,” faces breeding challenges due to its slow growth, limited seed production, ...

Researchers at the UCSF Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center have identified a region on the human genome that appears to determine how strongly drinkers feel the effects of alcohol and thus how ...

A panel of 94 SNPs was examined for association with breast cancer in women of European ancestry undergoing hereditary cancer genetic testing and negative for pathogenic variants in breast cancer ...

PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor Plus Chemotherapy Versus PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor in Microsatellite Instability Gastrointestinal Cancers: A Multicenter Retrospective Study This cross-sectional study included 75 ...

(Reuters Health) - Many people worry about inheriting health problems from their parents, but a new approach to analyzing genetic contributions to disease risk suggests that for most diseases, ...

The answer to how long each of us will live is partly encoded in our genome. Researchers have identified 16 genetic markers associated with a decreased lifespan, including 14 new to science. This is ...
