Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

Every blue-eyed person you have ever met carries the same genetic fingerprint, a single mutation buried deep inside a gene ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Prostrate growth habit is a highly desirable plant architecture trait that enhances lodging resistance, landscape coverage, and ornamental value.
