Alex Marson of Gladstone and his collaborators at Stanford University developed a genomic mapping technique that helps close ...

Why do some brains crave more stimulation than others? Learn about dopamine, genetics, and brain function, and how dopamine ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

In the damp understory of forests in Taiwan, mainland Japan, and Okinawa, a plant called Balanophora can fool you at first ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

Rapid advances in sequencing technologies have transformed our ability to diagnose human genetic disorders, yet many patients still lack a molecular ...

Explore the potential of gene therapy as a groundbreaking approach to curing diseases, beyond traditional pharmacological ...

A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...
