Researchers study house sparrow genetics to understand survival, evolution, and how species respond to environmental change.

Accurately predicting complex agronomic traits remains a major bottleneck in crop breeding. This study demonstrates how ...

Researchers are trying to understand why some wild species do better than others over time, as the environment changes.

A research team shows that phenomic prediction, which integrates full multispectral and thermal information rather than ...

Recent advances in genomics and high‐throughput phenotyping have revolutionised our understanding of milk composition and the potential for genetic improvement in dairy cattle. Genetic analyses now ...

What if we could predict obesity before it ever takes hold? A global team has created a genetic test that forecasts a child’s risk of adult obesity before age five—years before other factors kick in.

Combining wearable-derived daily step counts with polygenic risk scores improves the prediction of incident type 2 diabetes ...

A genetic test could predict whether a child will be obese as an adult. A global study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, found that the risk of severe obesity in adulthood can be identified ...

What if we could prevent people from developing obesity? The World Obesity Federation expects more than half the global population to develop overweight or obesity by 2035. However, treatment ...

Scientists have developed a new tool which can predict a child’s risk of becoming obese in adulthood. The test could help to identify children and adolescents who would benefit from targeted ...

A study reveals that two-thirds of genetic risks for mental health conditions are shared, challenging traditional diagnostic ...
