Abstract: This manuscript presents an improved version of the Inclusive Genetic Programming (IGP) algorithm. The IGP was developed to promote and maintain the population's genotypic diversity and ...

Analysis of 135,000 participants reveals 11 genetic regions tied to delayed gratification and shows shared biology with mental, cognitive and metabolic traits The same genetic factors that influence ...

Why do some mammals squeeze just a few years out of life while others live several decades? A new cross-species study led by scientists at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), and the ...

Parametric Symbolic Regression (PSR) is a Python package that evolves symbolic expressions whose parameters can be optimized (e.g. with curve_fit or minimize). It combines genetic-programming style ...

The evolutionary blueprint for hands was borrowed in part from a much older genetic plan for our nether regions, a new study suggests. Researchers armed with CRISPR looked to the embryos of zebrafish ...

A genetic test may one day predict a child’s risk of obesity in adulthood, paving the way for early interventions. Certain genetic variants can affect how a person’s body stores fat or make them more ...

If you’ve ever wondered why some people can eat whatever they want and stay slim while others struggle with weight despite their best efforts, genetics holds many of the answers. For people with ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. GrrlScientist writes about evolution, ecology, behavior and health. Even when genetic diversity appears to be adequate, hidden ...

Collaborative research defines a novel approach to understanding how certain proteins called transcription factors determine which genetic programs will drive cell growth and maturation. The method, ...

Researchers have developed a new technology that improves the precision and integration density of synthetic genetic circuits. Professor Jongmin Kim's research team at POSTECH developed a new ...
