Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF affect how people ...
Parents looking to promote health and intelligence in their children can pick and choose their embryos now. There could be ...
If you've ever pictured the builders of Stonehenge or the legendary warriors immortalized in "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," ...
VAEs also introduce mathematical constraints that accommodate computational models called large neural networks. To continue with the example of large language models, these neural networks can be ...
In this Journal Club, Minoli Perera reflects on a 2005 sequencing study by Cohen et al., who discovered two common loss-of-function mutations with large effects on plasma cholesterol levels thanks ...
DNA is a mosaic of genetic fragments passed down through generations, but its clarity diminishes over time. While modern testing can trace ancestry through shared markers, the depth of this insight ...
University of Florida researchers are addressing a critical gap in medical genetic research—ensuring it better represents and benefits people of all backgrounds.
The Naylor siblings were all born with myotonic dystrophy, a genetic disorder that causes muscles to waste away. It wasn’t until later that the family knew something was wrong, so they made ...
This second paper addresses the genetic drift in multi-copy gene systems using rRNA genes as an example. Note that genetic drift happens in two stages here – within individuals and between individuals ...
Such data would miss variants that have a fast drift process driven by, for example, gene conversion. Strength of genetic drift should therefore be measured by the long-term fixation rate. The ...
Exome and transcriptome analysis was performed. Conclusions These organoid models enriched in EOCRCs with linked genomic data fill a gap in existing CRC models and reveal distinct genetic profiles and ...
Family history may also play a role in ways that are not genetic. For example, if you were raised in a home where exercise and healthy eating were undervalued, you may adopt habits that make you more ...
