The aim of this study was to generate the first high-density genetic linkage map for tetraploid garden rose, using an approach that starts with constructing separate homologs. 34 SNPs were genotyped ...

Duplicate accessions were identified using pairwise multilocus matching among all individual samples. DNA samples that were fully matched at the genotyped SNP loci were declared the same cultivar or ...

New research has identified specific genetic errors that increase the risk for three common cancers. Scientists working on the Collaborative Oncological Gene-Environment Study (COGS) revealed that ...

Researchers have discovered natural genetic differences that might help predict the most effective antipsychotic drugs for particular patients with mental disorders such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's ...

Mice and rats are a fundamental component of drug discovery research. Standard outbred stocks and inbred strains of rodents are used extensively for drug safety and pharmacokinetic testing. Our ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation awarded two contracts to develop specific aspects of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) technology for additional forensic DNA testing ...

Researchers at the UCSF Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center have identified a region on the human genome that appears to determine how strongly drinkers feel the effects of alcohol and thus how ...

A panel of 94 SNPs was examined for association with breast cancer in women of European ancestry undergoing hereditary cancer genetic testing and negative for pathogenic variants in breast cancer ...

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for breast cancer (BC) risk stratification have been developed primarily in women of European ancestry. Their application to women of non-European ancestry has lagged ...

(Reuters Health) - Many people worry about inheriting health problems from their parents, but a new approach to analyzing genetic contributions to disease risk suggests that for most diseases, ...

Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs are known to play important roles ...

A recent discovery of 5 genetic markers for the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer brings hope that a simple blood test could someday distinguish between prostate cancer patients who need urgent ...
