An analysis of more than 5,000 individuals with autism reveals four distinct groups that link autism-related traits with underlying genetics. The work could lead to more precise diagnoses and ...

While the investigation of species-level traits has revealed broad effects of environmental disturbances on communities and ecosystems, it is vital to ...

A new study in Nature Genetics from researchers at the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Biology (CCB) and their collaborators leverages data from SPARK, the largest-ever study of autism, ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

The human tendency to prefer immediate rewards over long-term goals is partly rooted in our DNA, according to a recent study published in the American Journal of Human Biology. The findings suggest ...

Analyzed integrated data on crop traits, weather and genomics can help breeders better understand phenotypic plasticity, which could lead to the development of hybrids that are more productive and ...
