Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions.

Scientists testing a new method of sequencing single cells have unexpectedly changed our understanding of the rules of genetics. The genome of a protist has revealed a seemingly unique divergence in ...

The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be recalling some other arrangement of amino-acids. A recent examination of protein ...

People from isolated parts of the U.K. could have variations in their genetic code that increase their chance of developing certain diseases, a study suggests. The most genetically distinct ...

Researchers built the most comprehensive cucumber pangenome to date, uncovering nearly 172,000 structural variants that ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

A researcher's mathematical modeling approach for brain imaging analysis reveals links between genes, brain structure and autism. A multi-university research team co-led by University of Virginia ...

One of the greatest challenges biologists face is figuring out which of the myriad variations in a person’s genetic code might make them sick. Artificial intelligence is helping them solve the problem ...
