New method ASPEN accurately maps gene activity from each parent in individual cells, overcoming noise in data. It revealed ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center and Human Genome Sequencing Center investigated the extent to which forms of genetic variation called germline or ...

The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the pathogen, thus marking it as an intruder and triggering an immune response. For ...

Large-scale human genetics studies have shown that many risk variants for common and complex diseases sit in the non-coding ...

Osaka, Japan – All living beings, big or small, are formed through the hard work of many different cells. To keep the body ready for any challenge, cells need to be dynamic. Often, this means the same ...

Two dimensional positioning of brain cells (dots) based on their gene expression, used in a study about cortical brain cell variation between individuals. Cells are color-coded by donor. Image credit ...

Over the past decades, large-scale human genetic studies have identified numerous risk genes and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

All living beings, big or small, are formed through the hard work of many different cells. To keep the body ready for any challenge, cells need to be dynamic. Often, this means the same types of ...
