The study reveals how interactions between cryptic mutations can increase or decrease the number of reproductive branches on tomato plants.

New research suggests that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has four distinct subtypes: social and behavioral challenges, mixed ASD with developmental delay, moderate challenges and broadly affected.

Researchers at the University of Tartu found that genetic differences in the CYP2C19 gene significantly affect how people tolerate antidepressants. Slow metabolizers faced 49% higher side effect risk, while ultra-rapid ones had reduced risk.

A study from the Max Planck Institute reveals that inhibitory neurons born later in development mature more rapidly to keep pace with earlier cells, ensuring balanced brain networks. This timing is controlled by specific genetic mechanisms.

While many patients experience long-term benefits from cancer treatment, some will derive no benefit whatsoever. The study examined RNA sequencing data and clinical outcomes from several prostate cancer clinical trial datasets.

University of Buffalo researchers conducted a systematic analysis of switch-like genes by analyzing genomes, transcriptomes and methylomes from 943 individuals and 27 different tissues.

Researchers used CRISPR to find a pair of genes that show strong potential as a new therapeutic target for uveal melanoma – a rare eye cancer.

Researchers at Chiba University found that genetic diversity among fruit flies enhances group fear responses, improving survival. Using a novel GHAS method, they identified genes like Ptp99A linked to visual motion processing.

New research identifies key genes in "zombie" TB cells resistant to antibiotics, bringing new drugs one step closer.

Having more copies of the AMY1 gene – which normally controls the production of a saliva enzyme – may be protective against Type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests.
