On 16 February, the Paranymph Hall of the University of Barcelona's Historic Building hosted the opening ceremony of the ...

Researchers reprogrammed bacterial bridge recombinases to edit large genomic regions in mammalian cells, revealing a ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain, and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do ...

Google DeepMind's VP of Research, Pushmeet Kohli, suggests that AI's next major biological breakthrough could be ...

It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

To identify possible burn-injury response genes, researchers examined the transcriptomes (the genes expressed) in both burnt and unburnt skin from humans and rats. Examining the gene sequences, they ...

Researchers mapped genetic blueprints for 51 species including cats, dolphins, kangaroos, penguins, sharks, and turtles, a discovery that deepens our understanding of evolution and the links between ...
