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 ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genetic editing method tailored to crop plants, which has influenced various traits in tomato plants, including the taste and shape of the fruit.

Putting the two sources together allowed the researchers to build a detailed map of the gene networks that influence red blood cell traits. The picture that emerged showed a remarkably complex genetic ...

Peach (Prunus persica) is an economically important fruit, and understanding the genetic basis of its quality traits is crucial for breeding. Recent advances in genome sequencing have led to the ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying the gene combinations underlying complex illnesses like diabetes, cancer and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...
