A major cardiovascular risk factor is thickening of the heart walls (hypertrophy), which can result from high blood pressure—but is also linked to inherited diseases of the heart which can lead to ...

Researchers with Texas A&M’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences are working to create a genetic map that could explain the origins and causes ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking genetic map. This resource identifies individuals at risk for high cholesterol and heart disease. It works even if their cholesterol levels appear normal.

Built from MRI data this video shows how the heart muscle contracts (strain) which the researchers used to find genetic associations. A major cardiovascular risk factor is thickening of the heart ...

Prostrate growth habit is a highly desirable plant architecture trait that enhances lodging resistance, landscape coverage, and ornamental value.

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...

A team of investigators at Penn State College of Medicine reports the development of a new method that improves the mapping of genetic variants that influence the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

When scientists want to trace how a species has changed over time—and predict its prospects for survival—they turn to DNA. But what if the genetic map guiding them belongs to the wrong animal? Is it ...
