A better understanding of the bedrock can help researchers calculate how quickly the continent's melting glaciers might ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after injury. For some, however, muscle development goes awry, leading to weakness, ...

For more than a century, Neanderthals have been cast as a vanished side branch of the human family tree, a brief encounter in ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

OGM was selected as a genome-wide, unbiased method to detect large genomic rearrangements and structural variants (SVs) with sensitivity to variant allele fractions (VAFs) as low as 5% to analyze ...

Back in early 2023, the dodo's genome was sequenced from a DNA sample. Now the company trying to resurrect the long-extinct ...

Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...

Google unveiled an artificial intelligence tool Wednesday that its scientists said would help unravel the mysteries of the ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...
