California produces 99% of the nation's pistachios, generating nearly $3 billion in economic value in the state. But pistachios have been slightly understudied, in part because of the lack of a ...

UC Davis researchers have generated the most high-quality map of the DNA of the pistachio, allowing breeders to develop ...

By creating the most complete and detailed genetic "map" of kidney function to date, the researchers have paved the way for more precise diagnosing of kidney disease, strategies to prevent it ...

Sturtevant Uses Crossing-Over Data to Construct the First Genetic Map Soon after Morgan presented his hypothesis, Alfred Henry Sturtevant, a 19-year-old Columbia University undergraduate who was ...

By creating the most complete and detailed genetic “map” of kidney function to date, the researchers have paved the way for more precise diagnosing of kidney disease, strategies to prevent it ...

A decade-long effort to probe gene regulation reveals differences between males and females, points to essential regulatory elements, and offers insight into past work on telomeres. Ashley started at ...

In a genetic screen, mapping allows scientists to link genes to their functions. To better understand how a genetic screen works, it helps to consider an example experiment. In this case ...

A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University (UMH) in Elche, has discovered that the ...
