EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

Robertsonian chromosomes (ROB) are a type of structurally variant chromosome that is created when two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. Found commonly in nature, these chromosomes are ...

Alternative splicing exhibits lineage-specific variability, with mammals and birds reaching the highest levels despite conserved intron-rich architectures, while unicellular eukaryotes and prokaryotes ...

By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...

It’s well-known that women are more likely to suffer from depression than men. A new study has now revealed that the genetic ...

A spider on the Canary Islands lost half its DNA but gained more genetic variety. Scientists say this changes how we ...

Losing sight is not just a physical experience — it reshapes the architecture of the inner world, Garrett Jones writes.

Penn biologists present new evidence on how telomere length is inherited in early embryos. Their findings open new avenues for research on aging and cancers.

This interesting study adapts machine learning tools to analyze movements of a chromatin locus in living cells in response to serum starvation. The machine learning approach developed is useful, the ...
