A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...
Why are so many people right-handed? A new study suggests the answer may trace back to two major shifts in human evolution: walking upright and growing bigger brains. According to Sci.News, ...
Depicting spatial distributions of disease-relevant cells is crucial for understanding disease pathology 1,2. Here we present genetically informed spatial mapping of cells for complex traits (gsMap), ...
Our parents' genes, even the ones we didn't inherit, leave a measurable lasting imprint on our lives. An international team led by researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) ...
Matthew Robinson, Ilse Krätschmer and colleagues provide a new approach to analyze genetic data. For height, body weight, and school test performance, the environment shaped by our parents’ genes can ...
The human microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that inhabit the human body and have a crucial role in human health. Microbiome composition is shaped by its interaction with many factors ...
