The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has received a $2 million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation for ongoing research to develop a comprehensive map of human genetic variation. The Human Genome ...

With the publication of two papers in the journal Nature, hundreds of scientists have provided the most comprehensive picture to date of how variations in the human genome affect schizophrenia risk.

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 ...

Structural variations (SVs), including insertions, deletions, inversions, and substitutions, can profoundly influence gene regulation and phenotype. In plants, these variants are particularly ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops. However, many of these variations ...
