In this interview conducted at Pittcon 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we spoke to this year’s recipient of the Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award, Neil Kelleher. My name is Neil Kelleher, and ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying gene combinations underlying complex illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

A phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism that result from the interaction between its genotype (genetic makeup) and the environment. It encompasses an organism's ...

Humans have approximately 20,000 human protein-coding genes, and the proteins they express span a concentration range of ~12 logs. Yet only 0.1% of proteins contribute to 99% of the total plasma ...

The genotype of an organism is inherited from its parents through the process of reproduction. During sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of the genetic material to the offspring, ...
