Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

Oncogenic FGFR3 gene fusions in solid tumors among Chinese cancer patients. Landscape of HRR genes in the Chinese cohort and TCGA cohort.

Researchers recently showed that inactivating a gene, RECQ4, leads to a three-fold increase in recombination in crops such as rice, pea and tomato. The discovery could speed up plant breeding and ...

Recombinant genes conferring resistance to antibiotics or herbicides are widely used as selectable markers in plant transformation. Once transgenic material has been selected, the marker gene is ...
