Many human traits are influenced by multiple genes. Human genes can also carry slight variations in their gene sequences, which can have a wide range of effects. In some complex traits, those small ...

In a recent study published in Nature Genetics, a group of researchers advanced variant effect prediction across the human proteome by integrating deep evolutionary signals with human population ...

Many statistical models and algorithms used by scientists can be imagined as a "black box." These models are powerful tools that give accurate predictions, but their internal workings are not easily ...

In tropical climates, lizards are everywhere. It can be a bit wild to see, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They seem a tad superfluous in such large varieties leaving one to wonder, what ...

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...
