This valuable study presents a mouse gastruloid model that can be used to generate hematopoietic progenitors as well as leukemic cells. However, in its current form, the manuscript is inadequate ...

Established in October 2024 and the largest of its kind in South-east Asia, the Ocular Genetics Service (OGS) provides a centralised and specialised approach to diagnosing and managing inherited ...

Nearly 300 new genetic variants have been linked to depression, according to a new study that included a large sample of nearly 5 million people. The international team, led by researchers at the ...

Polygenic scores (PGS) are metrics used to estimate the genetic predisposition of people to developing specific mental health conditions, personality traits or diseases. In recent years ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington's is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, but they didn't know how the mutation causes brain cell death. A study ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington’s disease is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene in which a three-letter DNA sequence, C-A-G, is repeated at least 40 ...

Whole genome sequencing, which is also being used widely to improve treatments of difficult-to-diagnose diseases as well as for genetic screening of newborns, has given hope to patients with ...

The study identifies 106 genetic variants linked to occupational status, highlighting the interplay between genetics, family environment, and childhood aspirations.

Scientists have found 697 genetic variants – or small changes within a gene – linked to depression, of which almost 300 were previously unknown. A Queensland scientist described the project as ...

is known as a dual-purpose crop, producing both fiber and oil, which have a wide range of uses. Successful flax breeding requires knowledge on the genetic determinants of flax traits. The former ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known ...

A massive trans-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) looked at the genetic makeup of 688,808 individuals with depression and 4,364,225 people in the control group and identified, in total ...
