One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

The analysis revealed that about 2 per cent of sperm from men in their early 30s contained disease-causing mutations. That ...

The centromere is necessary for the transport of chromosomes during cell division and, therefore, for the correct ...

As the Arctic warms and sea ice disappears, polar bears are being pushed into conditions they have never faced before. Their ...

A study by Kristin Winchell (NYU) sequenced the genomes of these reptiles and found 93 specific genes related to limb and skin development that had diverged from forest populations. The city lizards ...

Marija Balic, MD, discusses how circulating tumor DNA assays for molecular residual disease detection have evolved in recent years. She details the mechanisms of tumor-informed assays such as ...

A new study finds tiny Neanderthal DNA differences shaped their powerful jaws, revealing how small genetic changes influence ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

Researchers find Apennine brown bears evolved into a smaller, less aggressive animal after centuries of coexistence with ...

Denisovans were an extinct human group identified almost entirely through DNA rather than complete skeletons. First discovered in Siberia, their genetic legacy is still present in populations across ...

UCLA researchers found that gut bacteria are rapidly evolving in response to modern diets. Genes enabling digestion of ...
