Extensive gene mapping reveals 20 variants linked to atherosclerosis risk, paving way for early detection by University of Gothenburg Editors' notes The GIST Add as preferred source ...

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 ...

Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, has historically been opaque. Geneticist and Crick group leader Greg ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

An international collaboration of genetic researchers has identified more than 90 genetic regions associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The large-scale meta-analysis ...

At the turn of the century, the biomedical research community saw a landmark global effort, when scientists built a reference human genome sequence to better understand the genes underlying health and ...
