A wave of spatial transcriptomics studies has produced gene-expression atlases that span entire organs and whole organisms, from mouse embryos to the roundworm C. elegans to 31 human tissues. These ...

Little Amelia Sloan became a pioneer shortly after her birth. The healthy baby is part of a large research project outside the nation’s capital that is decoding the DNA of hundreds of infants. New ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, has historically been opaque. Geneticist and Crick group leader Greg ...

The Cucurbitaceae family, comprising economically important crops such as cucumber, melon, and watermelon, exhibits remarkable phenotypic diversity in traits including fruit size, shape, and flesh ...

The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...
