Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

Out of these eight strains of mice, only the CAST mouse was susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, including beta, omicron and delta variants. The eight strains include A/J, B6J, CAST, 129S1, NSG, NZO, PWK, and ...

A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin — DNA and proteins — plays a critical role.
