Stanford Researchers Program Cells to Carry Out Gene-Guided Construction Projects Stanford researchers have developed a technique that reprograms cells to use synthetic materials, provided by…
Scripps Research’s analysis of public genome sequence data from SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses found no evidence that the virus was made in a laboratory or…
Stanford Scientists Discover the Mathematical Rules Underpinning Brain Growth Using microscopy and mathematics, researchers have discovered the invisible pattern that growing neurons follow to form…
It is the first time scientists have revealed how the brain shuttles genetic code within its cells. Research published today (March 13, 2020) in Science…
Researchers from the group of Hans Clevers have developed a new genetic tool to label specific genes in human organoids, or mini organs. They used…
To quickly identify victims of the 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California’s history, researchers used a technique called Rapid DNA Identification that can…
New research offers insights into the transatlantic slave trade on African ancestry in the Americas. The Transatlantic Slave Trade transported more than 9 million Africans…
Approach focuses on 3D structures to simplify protein creation. Researchers have developed a process that could sharply reduce the work involved in computational protein design,…
The Mediterranean Sea has been a major route for maritime migrations as well as frequent trade and invasions during prehistory, yet the genetic history of…
Why sequencing the human genome failed to produce big breakthroughs in disease. An emergency room physician, initially unable to diagnose a disoriented patient, finds on…
In Quebec, gravestones did not come into common use until the second half of the 19th century, so historical cemeteries contain many unmarked graves. Inspired…
A team of Cambridge scientists working on the intersection between biology and computation has found that random gene activity helps patterns form during the development…
The first articulated Neanderthal skeleton to come out of the ground for over 20 years has been unearthed at one of the most important sites…
This is the latest study from a Keck School of Medicine of USC research team to show e-cigarette users develop cancer-related molecular changes similar to…
National Human Genome Research Institute-supported research of Hydractinia could provide clues to human reproductive conditions. A little-known ocean-dwelling creature most commonly found growing on dead…
