Stem cell models of the retina and optical nerve have been used to identify previously unknown genetic markers of glaucoma, in research jointly led by scientists from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, the University of Melbourne, and the Centre for Eye Research Australia.
They say the DNA map could clear up questions about apes' evolutionary past and be used to crack down on poachers and traffickers.
Using data from six international cohorts, researchers explored cross-ancestry transferability of PRSs for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.
An international reseach consortium led by the University of Helsinki has performed the largest study to date evaluating transferability of genome-wide polygenic risk scores across ancestries. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) measure genetic disease susce
How do the lungs develop after taking their first breaths outside the womb? What cellular events and changes early in life give rise to lung malfunction and disease? To help answer these questions, scientists have constructed the first single-cell atlas of postnatal lung development in humans and mice.
