In 2007, researchers were dazzled by the degree to which genomes differ from one human to another and began to understand the role of these...
A research team at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City has identified two genes that may be crucial to the production of an immune system...
The Stowers Institute’s Baumann Lab has identified the long-sought telomerase RNA gene in a single-cell research model. Their findings have been...
Researchers have solved the structure of a DNA-protein complex that is crucial in the spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria. Knowing this...
Can a tiny winged insect’s salivary glands really tell us about processes relevant to human disease? Yes, according to a new study by researchers at...
When cut, a planarian flatworm can regenerate a new head, new tail or even entire new organisms from a tiny fragment of its body -- a phenomenon that...
Surrounding the small islands of genes within the human genome is a vast sea of mysterious DNA. While most of this non-coding DNA is junk, some of it...
When a female is attracted to a male, entire suites of genes in her brain turn on and off, show biologists from The University of Texas at Austin...
A series of studies presented today at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annual meeting elucidates evidence that there is a...
