Gene mapping is the discipline devoted to determining the linear order and chromosomal coordinates of genes and other genomic elements. Traditional genetic mapping employs linkage analysis, in which ...

The chemicals flowing through your bloodstream tell a story that your DNA alone cannot. They reflect what you eat, how your ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

"This map would reveal the free amount of Dorsal in the nucleus. Once we create it, others would be free to use it so they can advance their understanding of gene regulation." The relationship between ...

NT-proBNP is one of the most widely used tested biomarkers in medicine. Doctors rely on it to diagnose and monitor heart ...

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have completed a massive genetic study that identifies key biological ...

A detailed cellular study of Crohn's disease has mapped how gene activity changes across more than 50 cell types in the gut.

To learn more about the biology underlying cocaine addiction, researchers analyzed almost 900 rats to map the genetic basis ...
