Scientists have taken an unprecedented look at marine fish species living in the world's oceans by studying traces of genetic ...

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

History came full circle yesterday on a stage in Washington: James D. Watson, one of two scientists who unraveled the basic structure of DNA nearly half a century ago, beamed as his scientific ...

DNA in seawater revealed that 93% of fish species live beyond known ranges, exposing major gaps in global marine biodiversity records.

This story is one of many exploring recent advances in the science of longevity and aging. The following few articles in the series, including this one, will focus on the relationship between genetics ...

California produces 99% of the nation's pistachios, generating nearly $3 billion in economic value in the state. But pistachios have been slightly understudied, in part because of the lack of a ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin - DNA and proteins - plays a critical role.

The number of people living with dementia worldwide was estimated at 57 million in 2021 with nearly 10 million new cases ...

The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...

An international research consortium co-led by scientists from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the University of Toronto and University of Pittsburgh has mapped the functional impact of more ...
