IISc researchers uncover how lac insect produces laccaic acid for prized pigment using symbiotic yeast-like organism.

Funeral arrangements for Joyce Badon, a victim of Kerr County flooding, have been announced.

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, ...

We should pay more attention to upstream prevention, which is vital for the nation’s health, write Trevor Sheldon and John Wright It is a consistent failing of governments to be seduced by the lure of ...

The extreme and dynamic genome rearrangements in this class stands in contrast to most other animals, demonstrating that chitons have overcome evolutionary constraints acting on other animal groups.

An international team of researchers co-led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, have identified rules that tell cells how to fold DNA into the tightly packed, iconic X-shaped ...

Researchers working with Colossal Biosciences have assembled a near-complete Tasmanian tiger genome and developed artificial reproductive technologies that could help de-extinct the species.

Genes, DNA, and chromosomes make up the human genome. Learn the role they play in genetics, inheritance, physical traits, and your risk of disease.

This makes it all the more surprising that the current study found no correlation between the enormous transposon surplus and genome instability – the genome of the lungfish is unexpectedly stable and ...

In fact, the lungfish genome was surprisingly stable, and the gene arrangement remarkably conservative, allowing the researchers to reconstruct the ancestral tetrapod’s original chromosome framework ...

The longest genome of all the animals on Earth belongs not to a giant, or a cognitively advanced critter, but a writhing, water-dwelling creature seemingly frozen in time, right at the cusp of ...

Scientists have sequenced the largest genome of all animals, the lungfish genome. Their data help to explain how the fish-ancestors of today's land vertebrates were able to conquer land.
