The major histocompatibility complex (MHC), an immune gene-dense region on Chromosome 6p21.3, 1 is a prime candidate for disease association studies. Examples of clinical conditions associated with ...

In a recent study published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, researchers investigated whether denser intrahost human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) populations had a higher incidence of coinfection ...

Various terms that describe genetic relatedness are introduced. The role of recombination in genetic variation and linkage disequilibrium is described. The concepts of identity-by-state and ...

In the quest to separate the good traits from the bad, bioinformatics (computational biology) research, using a data driven strategy in wheat, find the first ever gene associated with gene conversion ...

In a recent study posted to bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers found frequent recombination of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like coronaviruses (SL-CoVs) with diverse gene pools. Study: ...

When it comes to breeding better wheat varieties, often, though we seek to introduce desirable genes that increase yield, for example; these can come along with less wanted genes than reduce some ...
