A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Researchers at the University of California have created a novel data structure and compression method that allows ...

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Birds have a dazzling display of patterns, from muted colors to vivid and striking hues. For a long time, scientists believed that the evolution of these traits was a slow process that took place when ...

Humans are continuously exposed to various environmental allergens (antigens), such as pollen, food, and dust mites. In certain individuals, their immune system recognizes common environmental ...

Freckles are often caused by variations in a particular gene that affects melanin. They are common and usually harmless. If you have concerns about any marks on your skin, consult a dermatologist for ...

Environmental factors such as lifestyle and the medications you take influence the effects your genes have on your body — and can clarify how diseases develop. When you purchase through links on our ...
