The most successful targets for precision medicine can be found by using algorithms created by University of Michigan researchers. These algorithms successfully identify the weakest…
Now, scientists from the CNRS and the University of Tokyo have developed the application of a novel enzyme-based technique, providing the first hints as to…
It was originally believed that these selfish genes would not remain in populations for long periods of time. The finding could alter our understanding of…
The results of the research may help doctors identify patients who are unable to grow to their genetically projected height, which may subsequently facilitate the…
The NIH estimates that approximately 21 million adults in the United States had at least one major depressive episode. The researchers found that strict parenting…
The scientists believe there are at least three wild ‘mystery ancestors’. Scientists are peeling back ancient layers of banana DNA in order to find the…
The researchers are planning to continue their research and develop a drug that can treat patients. Scientists have identified new cancer treatment targets. In Switzerland,…
Each colored ribbon represents a DNA barcode. As the tumor evolves, some cancer cells come to dominate the tumor, shown by the orange and red…
This healthy, 1-year-old male offspring of a rose-breasted grosbeak and scarlet tanager is the first-ever documented hybrid of its kind. The two species have such…
The DNA-based nanotransporter developed by Alexis Vallée-Bélisle and his team can transport and deliver precise concentrations of drugs: in this picture, doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug.…
A new research study reveals how a common type of epigenetic modification can be transmitted via sperm not only from parents to offspring, but to…
Tubes, visible in light green, are roughly seven nanometers in diameter — about two million times smaller than an ant — and several microns long,…
Researchers have discovered a new structure of telomeric DNA, which could be key to living longer. Researchers have discovered a new structure of telomeric DNADNA,…
Scientists have developed a new technique to reveal the hidden human genome. Numerous short RNARibonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule similar to DNA that…
The origin of Assateague’s wild horses has remained a mystery for centuries, but new genetic data supports the theory that they descended from Spanish horses…
This study was the first comprehensive eDNA biodiversity survey conducted on Mount Everest. From only 20 liters of water gathered in one of the toughest…
Scientists have solved the century-old mystery of a supergene that causes efficient cross-pollination in flowers. The Long and Short of a Supergene for Efficient Pollination…
Inheritance, as it pertains to genetics, refers to a trait or variants encoded in DNA and transferred from parent to child during reproduction. The discovery…
The researchers evaluated changes in DNA methylation and discovered that hibernation slows biological aging. A recent study headed by University of Maryland scientists explains why…
