Caves and rock shelters dot the mountains in the northwestern highlands of Thailand. Over 40 in Mae Hong Son province contain wooden coffins on stilts,…
A groundbreaking study has mapped the elusive allosteric sites of the KRAS protein, a key factor in many cancers. This discovery opens the door to…
A new study offers a complete genomic database for pangolins, aiding their conservation. The research sequences multiple species, provides insights into their evolution, and will…
Instead of just piecing together short bits of a genome through short-read genomic sequencing, EMBL researchers used long-read nanopore sequencing to gain a more comprehensive…
Chromosomes in cells with whole genome doubling. Credit: Elisa Oricchio/Giovanni Ciriello (EPFL/UNIL) A single cell holds 2-3 meters of DNADNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a…
The figure shows the interactions between immune cells (white) and tumor cells harboring persistent mutations (red) in the context of immunotherapy (white) as a chess…
A robot punches out pinhead-sized pieces from a gel layer. The narrow blue bands contain proteins from a bacterial culture. Subsequently, the proteins contained in…
Introns are non-coding regions of DNA found within genes of eukaryotic organisms. They are transcribed into RNA but are later removed by a process called…
The plant, Ambrosia artemisiifolia (also known as ragweed), has already spread all the way to Denmark. In order to comprehend the spread of the invasive…
Neuron generation trajectories. Credit: BGI Genomics The first-ever axolotl stereo-seq gives new insights into brain regeneration. Because of its distinctive and adorable look, the axolotl…
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…
Analysis of the genome and proteome shows that eukaryotic evolution gave rise to the regulatory function of chromatin. Two meters of DNADNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid,…
Recent research analyzes mathematical models created to deduce conclusions about how evolution works at the level of populations of organisms. A study examines the benefits and…
New research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst helps identify genetic links to type 2 diabetes risk. A large-scale study of diverse populations increases our…
The SpatioTemporal Omics Consortium (STOC) is a collaborative research initiative that aims to accelerate our understanding of cellular complexity and interactions at tissue scale in…
Researchers have linked increased numbers of mutations in children to a higher rate of random mutations in sperm cells of the biological father, associated with…
Despite enormous disparities in longevity and body mass, new research has revealed that the number of genetic mutations acquired by 16 species is similar across…
