Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions.

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Tautz et al. (2026): Beyond Mendel: a call to revisit the genotype–phenotype map through new experimental paradigms, Genetics Vol. 232, doi: https://doi.org/10.1093/genetics/iyag024 ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Eggplant is a globally important vegetable crop, yet its genetic complexity has long limited efforts to improve yield, quality, and stress resistance.

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

A new study, published today in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights on the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint ...

New study reveals a key melon gene that controls fruit length, unlocking smarter breeding and potential nutritional gains.
