Over the last five years, the widespread availability of high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies has permitted the sequencing of the whole genomes or exomes of hundreds of thousands of humans. In ...

Special values of the zeta function ζ(s) for the Laplacian on form Δ on a compact Riemannian manifold are known to have geometric significance. We compute the variation of these special values with ...

A variation in the gene PICALM has a profound effect on microglia function, increasing the risk of Alzheimer's developing.

To understand the association between leaf form and leaf optical properties, we examined light absorption variations in the leaves of Mentha aquatica L., an amphibious freshwater macrophyte. Specific ...

New research from Cornell scientists is exploring how human genetics impacts functions of the gut microbiome, and is expanding awareness of the role human genetics plays in shaping the microbiome. The ...

The National Institutes of Health is providing approximately $185 million over five years to the Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF) consortium, initiated and funded by NIH's National Human ...

A research group has studied how seasons influence the function of the brain. Researchers showed that the length of daylight affects the opioid receptors, which in turn regulates the mood we ...

Seasonal variation in daylight was found to influence brain function. Turku PET Centre, Finland researchers have compared how the length of daylight hours affected the opioid receptors in humans and ...
