With a world facing the consequences of climate change, climate-resilient crops are becoming increasingly critical. By having crops that can withstand extreme environmental stressors, food…
Researchers at UC San Diego studied the UV light-emitting devices used to cure gel manicures, and found that the chronic use of these nail polish…
According to a new study, twins who engage in high levels of physical activity (defined as more than 150 minutes of exercise per week) show…
After examining two large databases of traits in spouses, researchers discovered that the tendency for individuals to mate with others who possess similar traits (known…
Researchers have constructed a high-quality, chromosome-scale genome of pearl oysters, which they hope can be used to find resilient strains. In Japan, pearl oysters are…
The new tool has the potential to improve gene and cell therapies. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have developed a tool that can…
The new findings challenge the prevailing view of human adaption. The researchers used ancient genomes to reveal new information about the human history of adaption. …
The new research focused on the failure of a process known as “mismatch repair.” A Yale University study presents a new explanation for why immunotherapy…
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.…
