The probability of drug interactions increases when genetic polymorphisms are considered, indicating that pharmacogenetic assessment may be useful in predicting the presence and severity of ...

Rare diseases are usually caused by a single genetic defect, but searching for the cause and assessing the effects of those defects is highly complex and difficult. Researchers headed by a team at the ...

Our bodies follow a natural 24-hour cycle known as the circadian rhythm that influences everything from sleep to metabolism. While scientists have long known that certain core circadian clock genes ...

A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Czech Academy of Sciences has uncovered a new piece of the puzzle of how gene expression is orchestrated. Published in the journal ...

Rice is one of the most important staple crops, on which more than half of the world's population depends. But as temperatures rise and extreme weather events increase, rice is becoming more ...

To discover new treatments for genetic disorders, scientists need a thorough knowledge of prior literature to determine the best gene/protein targets and the most promising drugs to test. However, ...

Trinity researchers have led a new collaborative study, combining large genetic datasets with satellite weather data and ...

Researchers reveal a novel mechanism that coordinates the assembly of components inside cells that control gene expression. A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Czech ...
