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 ...

Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, single linear reference genomes (such as GRCh38) have served as the foundation for biomedical research. However, the genetic backgrounds of human ...

A research team led by Zhen-Xing Endowed Professor Jian Yang at the School of Life Sciences, Westlake University, has ...

“Some genetic diseases are relatively simple, with an essentially one-to-one relationship between the presence of a genetic variant — or a change in a person’s DNA that differs across people — and the ...

Certain genetic mutations can have different outcomes depending on whether one inherits from their mother or their father. This phenomenon is known as parent-of-origin effects (POEs), where certain ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...
