Plants are consummate chemists, using the sun's energy and carbon dioxide from the air, to conjure a dazzling array of complex natural products in ways that cannot be replicated synthetically in the ...
An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...
Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...
Study finds major methodological differences across seven direct-to-consumer stool tests, producing taxonomic profiles as variable as those between individuals — limiting clinical use.
Scientists have identified a critical breakdown in the cellular machinery that produces proteins in aging brains.
Pre-eclampsia is a life-threatening pregnancy complication that can strike suddenly, endangering both mother and child.
Every second, hundreds to thousands of molecules move through thousands of nuclear pores in each of your cells. A new high-definition view reveals the machine in action.
Caris received FDA approval in November 2024 for MI Cancer Seek, a tissue-based assay that is the first and only simultaneous Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and Whole Transcriptome Sequencing ...
A gel held together entirely by interlocking DNA rings exhibits mechanical properties unlike any conventional gel, driven purely by topology.
By combining high-resolution genomic data with AI, researchers are uncovering the regulatory logic plants use to sense and survive environmental stress.
Scientists developed Evo 2, a large biological foundation model trained on about 9 trillion DNA base pairs that can analyse ...
The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...
