Dr Singh said India holds a unique advantage in genomic research due to its large and diverse population with more than 4,000–5,000 distinct communities.
A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...
Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...
As the most extreme drought period in more than 10,000 years ravaged California from 2012 to 2015, many wildflowers died. But in a new study published Thursday in the journal Science, researchers ...
During California’s worst dry spell in the past 1,200 years, some populations of wildflowers defied the odds to survive the ordeal. Researchers say they now believe these flowers relied on a type of ...
