How can we map the human genetic architecture of COVID-19 across all ancestry groups?

In a new study, researchers formed the COVID-19 host genetics initiative to compile a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 60 studies from 25 countries.

Researchers challenge a popular scenario put forward to explain the arrival of the first eukaryotic organisms

In the beginning, there was boredom. Following the emergence of cellular life on earth, some 3.5 billion years ago, simple cells lacking a nucleus and other detailed internal structure dominated the planet. Matters would remain largely unchanged in terms of evolutionary development in these so-called prokaryotic cells - the bacteria and archaea - for another billion and a half years.

New dual-plasmid editing system for DNA-based information rewriting in vivo

DNA-based information is a new interdisciplinary field linking information technology and biotechnology.

Study sheds light on the pathogenic brain mechanisms associated with evolution of anxiety

Monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine play important roles in our cognitive and emotional functions.

Researchers analyze the genetic differentiation, diversity of Omicron variant during its early spread

More mutations have been carried by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant than previously reported variants. However, the genetic differentiation and diversity within Omicron variant that occurs during its early spread remains unclear.

Baboons at Amboseli offer clues to the costs of the hybridization, study says

New genetic analyses of wild baboons in southern Kenya reveals that most of them carry traces of hybridization in their DNA. As a result of interbreeding, about a third of their genetic makeup consists of genes from another, closely-related species.

Study reveals the effects of an atypical mode of chromosome arrangement on genome architecture and evolution

A research team led by André Marques at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, has uncovered the profound effects of an atypical mode of chromosome arrangement on genome organization and evolution.

Early-life acquisition of antibiotic resistance in neonates from developing countries

Every year, almost 7 million potentially serious bacterial infections are estimated to occur in newborns, resulting in more than 550,000 annual neonatal deaths.

Researchers uncover genomic characteristics of breast cancers associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome

Cleveland Clinic researchers have uncovered genomic characteristics of breast cancers associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) that differentiate them from sporadic breast cancers.

Incubation period, generation time, and reproduction number of initial monkeypox cases in Italy

In a new study, researchers analyzed the first human monkeypox cases in Italy.

Disease progression in the rhesus macaque model upon inoculation with the Delta, Omicron BA.1, and Omicron BA.2 variants

Researchers compared the severity levels of disease caused by different SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in the rhesus macaque model.

Analysis of monkeypox virus genomes suggests that it spread early and cryptically

A new study reports the identification of a cluster of monkeypox virus A.2 lineage genomes.

Study: Genes involved in coronary heart disease may be nearly the same for everyone

The genes involved in coronary heart disease, the most common form of heart disease, appear to be nearly the same for everyone, according to a VA study.

Genetic signatures may help predict immunotherapy response in patients with bladder cancer

Investigators from Cedars-Sinai Cancer have identified genetic signatures that could predict whether tumors in patients with bladder and other cancers will respond to immunotherapy.

Children with intellectual disability of genetic origin are extremely likely to develop other neuropsychiatric conditions

A major study of children with intellectual disabilities has highlighted the additional challenges that they often face, including a much-increased likelihood of being diagnosed as autistic, as well as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other mental health difficulties.
