A Harvard-led study has identified genetic markers associated with preeclampsia and gestational hypertension in a large cohort study. In the paper, "Polygenic prediction of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension," published ...
Researchers have designed a method that can universally test for evolutionary adaption, or positive (Darwinian) selection, in any chosen set of genes, using re-sequencing data such as that generated by the 1000 Genomes Project. ...
