For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C. are uncovering how rare inherited genetic variants contribute to the development of brain ...

Analysis of 135,000 participants reveals 11 genetic regions tied to delayed gratification and shows shared biology with ...

Pyrrolysine is an important component of methyltransferase enzymes, which the archaea use to metabolize methylamine in the environment. “The need for that metabolism and availability of the machinery ...

A new study shows that RNA splicing, not just gene expression, holds powerful clues to why some mammals live far longer than ...

Marine viruses deploy a sophisticated Trojan horse maneuver that enables them to dismantle the energy systems of ocean ...

This study presents a valuable tool named TSvelo, a computational framework for RNA velocity inference that models transcriptional regulation and gene-specific splicing. The evidence supporting the ...

Scientists found that golden retrievers and humans share many emotion related genes, helping explain learning differences in both species.

Researchers have identified a stress-activated control mechanism that helps breast cancer cells reshape gene activity to ...

The tools for advancing our understanding of basic biology have become increasingly capable of taking on large, ...

New studies of canine genetics shed light on the diversity of dogs and our longstanding, still-evolving relationship to them.

A new study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison provides the first empirical evidence connecting the ...
