The Tomato Genomics Consortium fully sequenced the genome of the tomato, Solanum Lycopersicum. They report in the Journal Nature that tomatoes possess some 35,000 genes…
While studying base pairs of human genomes from over 14,000 people, researchers discovered a dramatically higher rate than they expected of rare genetic variants, finding…
Newly published research from biochemists at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine describes how a protein that is required for DNA replication, Cdt1,…
New research pinpoints to certain mutations that may have helped the stickleback, a tiny armored fish, to evolve quickly between saltwater and freshwater forms. Since…
A new genomics technique developed at Cornell University is roughly 50 times cheaper than comparable methods. The cost effectiveness of this new method, called Genotyping-by-sequencing…
A new imaging technique is giving scientists their first three-dimensional view of the human genome and how DNA is packed inside cells. Research has shown…
Neuroscientists are studying the connections between the billions of neurons in the brain and believe they hold the key to our memories, personality and even…
