Researchers compared SNPs in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene between mild and severe COVID-19 patients.

Dry fruit intake may be causally associated with a reduced risk of osteoarthritis.

Study finds dark chocolate intake significantly lowers the risk of essential hypertension, suggesting a beneficial role in cardiovascular health.

Researchers investigated the genetic underpinnings of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and its relationship with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) through a genome-wide association study ((GWAS), identifying distinct and shared genetic factors.

Researchers explored the effects of a small humanin-like peptide 2 (SHLP2) variant on mitochondrial function.

All pangolin species are now endangered due to the illegal trade of their scales across the world. Efforts to understand the trade and conserve the sp....

Spatial genomics is a cutting-edge field that combines genomics and spatial analysis to investigate the role of genomic features in disease at single-cell resolution.

What makes a pointer point, a sheep dog herd, and a retriever retrieve? Why do Yorkshire terriers live longer than Great Danes? And how can a tiny Chihuahua possibly be related to a Great Dane? Dogs vary in size, shape, color, coat length and behavior more than any other animal and until now, this variance has largely been unexplained.

This article discusses the use of bioinformatics analysis for the longitudinal detection of circulatingtumor DNA.

The study investigates the role of the ACTL7B gene in sperm formation using genetically modified mice and finds that deficiencies in this gene lead to failed spermatogenesis and structural sperm abnormalities. Given the gene's similarity in humans, the findings suggest ACTL7B could serve as a potential biomarker for male infertility.
