Thinking of gene loss as an evolution force is a counterintuitive idea, for it is easier to think that only when we gain something -genes in this case- can we evolve. However the new work by these ...

In “What We Inherit,” Sam Trejo and Daphne O. Martschenko examine the link between genetic myths and social genomics.

A Stanford University biochemist who has greatly advanced human understanding of how cells copy themselves, and what controls the process, will receive the 2001 Welch Award tonight. Roger Kornberg, 54 ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

The human genome contains approximately 1,600 types of transcription factors responsible for regulating gene activity across more than 400 tissue and cell types. Chromatin immunoprecipitation ...

CRISPR gene therapy Casgevy can nearly eliminate sickle cell crises, but difficult stem‑cell collection is delaying access ...

The optimisation of process planning has emerged as a pivotal aspect of modern manufacturing, where genetic algorithms (GAs) and hybrid techniques are leveraged to address the combinatorial complexity ...

Hair genetics can come from either parent, and multiple genes can determine hair traits, such as color, texture, and growth. Genes can also affect hair loss. Although it can run in families, this is ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...

A globe-spanning scientific team has compiled the most comprehensive list of genetic variants associated with prostate cancer risk—451 in all—through a whole-genome analysis that ranks as the largest ...
