Alex Marson of Gladstone and his collaborators at Stanford University developed a genomic mapping technique that helps close ...

As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...

Findings suggest that new genes can form by repurposing fragments of ancestral genes while incorporating entirely new coding regions (the protein-coding parts of the DNA). This innovative concept ...

Comprehending the mechanism behind human diseases with an established heritable component represents the forefront of personalized medicine. Nevertheless, numerous medically important genes are ...

Professor Gašper Tkačik. Among other things, Tkačik and his research group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) aim to develop theoretical concepts about networks found in real ...

Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the ...

Researchers have assembled the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) gap-free genome of Platycodon grandiflorus, a traditional medicinal herb valued for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory ...

One problem with theories which start with genes and then go on to try to explain complex mental outcomes such as psychosis or autism in the way in which the imprinted brain theory does is that they ...

Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the trajectory towards the optimum? And can we 'derive' it in a purely ...
