So much science starts with deciphering a genome, the blueprint for every being on Earth. With such roadmaps in hand, ...

Using whole genome sequencing and cutting‐edge analyses, researchers at Stockholm University have uncovered the surprising ...

Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran orangutan, Bornean orangutan, gorilla, bonobo and chimpanzee. Areas of ...

They very clearly are related to other mollusks and other animals just like us. So if we look in their genomes, animal genomes typically have on the order of 18,000 to 25,000 different genes. Tens of ...

Genomes from 240 mammalian species reveal what makes the human genome unique Studies from the Zoonomia Project pinpoint key parts of the human genome that have remained unchanged after millions of ...

E. coli and yeast synthetic genomes. After synthetic Mycoplasma genome development, scientists designed partial and complete synthetic E. coli genomes, namely, rE. coli-57 and Syn61, respectively. 2,7 ...

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

Over a decade, scientists compared the genomes of 240 mammals to see how humans are the same — and different. By Carl Zimmer It has been 20 years since scientists put together the first rough ...

A study described the three-dimensional architecture of turtle genomes, which fold in a configuration unlike any other animal observed so far. In their long strings of nucleotides, DNA molecules ...
