Scientists at CSIC have documented a 4200 km oceanic flight from West Africa to French Guiana in South America. An international team of researchers, led…
Modern brain data does not support the classic explanation for infant helplessness. A new study suggests that babies’ brains are not as immature as previously…
Scientists have used genome reconstruction to identify a previously “invisible” fish parasite, found globally in numerous marine fish species. This parasite, part of the apicomplexans—a…
Researchers at Penn Medicine analyzed genomic data to discover new antibiotics within the global microbiome. Nearly a century after the groundbreaking introduction of antibiotics such…
Research on various Mycena mushroom species revealed unexpectedly large genomes, suggesting a genetic capacity for diverse lifestyles, notably in Arctic strains where genomes are significantly…
Research teams have successfully regenerated mouse brain circuits using rat stem cells, showcasing a new method for restoring brain function and studying interspecies brain development….
Native species are unable to migrate quickly enough to escape the disruptions caused by climate change. A team of scientists from around the world recently…
By capturing short-lived RNA molecules, scientists can map relationships between genes and the regulatory elements that control them. MIT researchers have innovated a method to…
Research from Cornell University suggests that prolonged maternal care contributes to longer lifespans and slower reproductive rates in humans and other mammals, supporting theories that…
