An interdisciplinary team led by KU Leuven and Stanford has identified 76 overlapping genetic locations that shape both our face and our brain. What the…
New, reversible CRISPR method can control gene expression while leaving underlying DNA sequence unchanged. Over the past decade, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has revolutionized…
The fossil skull of a woman in Czechia has provided the oldest modern human genome yet reconstructed, representing a population that formed before the ancestors…
Scientists at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Sydney have discovered a critical new gene that it is hoped could help human hearts repair…
Fusing classical epidemiology and genomics is a tool for future pandemics. Genome sequencing of thousands of SARS-CoV-2 samples shows that surges of COVID-19 cases are…
A Berkeley Lab-led team is digging into the bizarre bacteria-produced nanomachines that could fast-track microbiome science. Imagine there are arrows that are lethal when fired…
Study in red-haired mice uncovers mechanisms involved and suggests new treatment strategies for pain. New research led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) provides…
Graybiel lab identifies genes linked to abnormal repetitive behaviors often seen in models of addiction and schizophrenia. Extreme repetitive behaviors such as hand-flapping, body-rocking, skin-picking,…
In a recent study led by the University of Bristol, scientists have shown how to simultaneously harness multiple forms of regulation in living cells to…
The field test, called NIRVANA, can simultaneously detect and sequence SARS-CoV-2, influenza and other viruses. Clinicians using a new viral screening test can not only…
Genomic study finds cancer-linked variants in Bernese mountain dogs, Rottweilers, and retrievers. Six genetic variants add up to determine the risk of several blood cancers…
New study points to potential widespread phagocytosis among green algae, suggests improved methodology in environmental microbiology. New research suggests that the ability of green algae…
The giraffe is a truly puzzling animal. With its exceptional anatomy and suite of evolutionary adaptations, the giraffe is an outstanding case of animal evolution…
New findings shed light on mechanisms controlling the most basic processes of life. Five years ago, scientists created a single-celled synthetic organism that, with only…
