Many butterflies develop wing patterns that mimic other species to protect themselves from predators. While growing complex ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been an early evolutionary ...

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

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

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 ...

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.

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

Your DNA contains millions of genetic variants that interact with each other in ways that affect whether diseases such as ...
