In response to a recent reader inquiry regarding the degree of heterosis he could expect in his breeding program, we thought ...
Scientists are exploring gene editing as a way to correct trisomy at the cellular level. Using CRISPR-Cas9, researchers ...
CRISPR epigenome editing successfully reactivates silenced genes in Prader-Willi Syndrome, highlighting potential for ...

Using genetic engineering, the researchers established two mouse models reflecting different forms of ADNP syndrome: mice that express only half the normal amount of ADNP, with only one active allele ...
A single gene in the shorebird species known as ruffs controls the levels of testosterone in males, and this in turn affects ...
The main genes influencing eye color are OCA2 and HERC2. Both are located on human chromosome 15. Genes thought to interact with OCA2 and HERC2 to determine eye color include ASIP, IRF4, SLC24A4, ...
Cephalopods may have the oldest sex chromosomes of any animal, according to a new discovery in the octopus genome. That's a big deal given that scientists didn't know until now if these oddball ...
Researchers have identified a sex chromosome in the California two-spot octopus. This chromosome has likely been around for 480 million years, since before octopuses split apart from the nautilus ...
Although it is now widely accepted that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in host metabolism, current knowledge on the effect of host genetics on specific gut microbes related to MetS status ...
Having a parent or sibling with diabetes does mean you are more likely to develop it yourself. But diabetes isn't just caused by genetics. Having a relative with the disease doesn't guarantee you will ...
