But the arguments hold only if common genetic variation implicates a manageable number of genes. If effect sizes were so small as to require a large chunk of the genome to explain the genetic component of a disorder, then no guidance ...

VANDERBILT (US)—The unexpected discovery of a new type of genetic variation suggests that natural selection—the force that drives evolution—is both more powerful and more complex than scientists have thought. ...

My hunch is that genetic diversity in dogs will prove to be narrow but deep, focusing on a small number of genes that vary sharply, whereas genetic diversity among humans will prove broader but shallower than among dogs, involving more ...

The plot below shows the first two principal components of genetic variation among nationals across the globe. I gather that this is based on a larger and more diverse sample than hitherto possible although it still seems small to me ...

The question has therefore arisen whether other forms of genetic variation, such as rare variants with large individual effects, could contribute to the heritability of complex traits such as lipid concentrations. ...

Today, the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) submitted written comments in response to the Request for Information made by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for its Genetic Test Registry (GTR). AMP conducted a survey of its membership to formulate a comprehensive response to the RFI. "With the vast majority of respondents working in a clinical laboratory setting, AMP is able to ...

Ever notice some people seem to eat anything they want and never gain a pound, while others seem to gain weight just by looking at fattening foods? You may be seeing things correctly after all. According to research published in the July 2010 issue of Genetics (http://www.genetics.org), this may have a biological cause. Using fruit flies, researchers have found that ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics and colleagues at Radboud University in the Netherlands describe how the impact of a single letter variation in the sequence of the human genome (SNP) conferring risk of kidney disease varies with age and with the onset of other diseases. The study provides independent confirmation of the association made in an earlier study between a version of the the SNP, located ...

The 1000 Genomes Project is not only generating a wealth of data on human genetic variation, but is also the impetus behind a new software toolkit intended to give programmers a flexible framework for quickly writing tools for analyzing next-generation sequencing data.

Genetic investigators say the partnership between people and the ancestors of today's donkeys was sealed not by monarchs trying to establish kingdoms, but by mobile, pastoral people who had to recruit animals to help them survive the harsh Saharan landscape in northern Africa more than 5,000 years ago. The findings, reported today by an international research team in Proceedings of the Royal ...

A version of this story previously ran in BioInform's sister publication BioArray News. Seeking to broaden its customer base beyond researchers conducting genome-wide association studies, Golden Helix last week launched an upgrade of its SNP & Variation Suite 7 software that includes features expected to appeal to cytogeneticists and researchers in the agricultural biotech market.

Research published in the journal Genetics suggests that genetic interaction with diet primarily determines variations in metabolic traits such as body weight, as opposed to diet aloneEver notice some people seem to eat anything they want and never gain a pound, while others seem to gain weight just by looking at fattening foods? You may be seeing things correctly after all. According to ...

Ten years ago this summer, President Bill Clinton announced that the first draft of the Human Genome Project was complete. Standing next to the president, the lead scientist on the project at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Francis Collins, said the draft would reveal the keys to treating common diseases like Alzheimers in just 10 to 15 years. That hope turned out to be wildly ...
