In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

Humans vary from person to person, and so does our metabolism. Yet, it is difficult to quantify precisely how much your genetic code contributes to this variability. Using data from half a million ...

Outsmarting insecticide resistance: How one genetic edit in mosquitoes self-propagates across generations, cutting malaria transmission to near zero without harming survival. Anopheles mosquito larva ...

Mosquitoes that readily transmit malarial parasites carry the FREP1 amino acid known as L224 (red dots inside mosquitoes and marked with “L”). The newly developed system uses an allelic gene drive ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital (Duncan NRI) have created a new way to measure genetic variants in the ...

Mosquitoes kill more people each year than any other animal. In 2023, the blood-sucking insects infected a reported 263 million people with malaria, leading to nearly 600,000 deaths, 80% of which were ...

For 30 years, APOE4 has ranked as the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, with two copies boosting the odds up to 15-fold. Now, scientists argue that people with two APOE4 alleles ...

Comprehensive investigation of CPSF3's role in the progression of bladder cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. This abstract does not include a ...

A landmark study uncovers how a specific lung gene, FOXP4, raises the risk of persistent symptoms after COVID-19, providing fresh insight into why some people are more susceptible to long COVID than ...
