The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

Alex Marson of Gladstone and his collaborators at Stanford University developed a genomic mapping technique that helps close ...

Accurately predicting complex agronomic traits remains a major bottleneck in crop breeding. This study demonstrates how ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...

“Some genetic diseases are relatively simple, with an essentially one-to-one relationship between the presence of a genetic variant — or a change in a person’s DNA that differs across people — and the ...

The next ISG workshop will be held in Boulder, Colorado, March 3rd-7th 2025. The course is planned to include sessions on: causes of variation; biometrical genetics; UNIX/R scripting; whole-genome ...
