Developmental genetics in filamentous fungi investigates the inherited programmes and molecular circuits that direct hyphal growth, multicellular differentiation and the production of complex ...

Scientists have conducted the largest and most diverse study to date on how recessive genetic changes contribute to developmental disorders. They found that most undiagnosed cases that are due to ...

Developmental genetics seeks to explain how a fertilised egg gives rise to a complex organism through regulated gene activity. Key advances have shown that conserved families of regulatory ...

Early detection and treatment of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly (CCV)—when a fetus's fluid-filled brain ventricles ...

Researchers have conducted what they say is the largest and most diverse study to date on how recessive genetic changes contribute to developmental disorders. The team, headed by researchers at the ...

Genetic conditions often result from inherited mutations passed down from one or both parents. In an inherited genetic disorder, a mutated gene is transmitted from a parent. 3 Recent developments have ...

Two recent studies in Developmental Cell and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shed light on the gene-mediated geometries and forces within embryonic development that give rise to ...

Paired box 6 (PAX6) is a member of the highly conserved paired box (PAX) transcription factors. Transcription factors regulate the activity of large numbers of genes involved in development. The PAX6 ...

An international study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge department of psychiatry has discovered that autism diagnosed during early childhood has a different genetic and developmental ...

Researchers assessed the role of recessive genetic variants in developmental disorders, suggesting reanalysis of genetic data could improve understanding and diagnosis of conditions for millions of ...
