A new study finds the genetic backgrounds of people in the U.S. are "highly complex" and may differ from their self-defined racial or ethnic groups. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

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

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

A number of studies have highlighted that ethnicity is an important factor influencing the genetic variability of some CYP450 enzymes and that human adaptation could have a role in shaping the genetic ...

Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. This variation permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

A new study from the NIH’s All of Us program is shaking up long-held assumptions by revealing that genetic ancestry rarely aligns with racial labels — and that the interplay between biology and ...

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 ...
