A new PLOS Genetics study shows that the Drosophila protein Xrp1 protects genome integrity through both a p53-dependent DNA ...

Octopuses, squid and cuttlefish, collectively known as coleoid cephalopods, have evolved exceptionally large and elaborately structured nervous systems capable of complex behaviors such as ...

AI-designed proteins improved targeted DNA insertion in cultured cells, with one variant doubling the performance of an ...

I have completed a master's degree in a science-related graduate school and work as a researcher at a manufacturing company.

DNA can be more than just a double helix. When four strands are folded into a compact bundle, they form a G-quadruplex (G4).

Tiny single-celled organisms help keep lakes clear, but some can also contaminate the water. An international research team ...

A research review favors migration between 20,000 and 14,000 years ago for ancestors of most living Indigenous Americans.

Haoyu Cheng, PhD, assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

The human genome is an easy place to get lost. Only 2% of its three billion letters encode proteins, and the rest is diabolically hard to decipher. An artificial-intelligence-generated ‘atlas’ of the ...

Whole-genome sequencing of eight Tribidrag, or Zinfandel, grapevine clones reveals millions of genetic variants and clear ...

Infertility affects more than 15% of couples worldwide. Thanks to medical science, infertility treatments have come a long ...
