For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is ...

Through genetic analysis and precision IV therapy, 10X Health and REVIV are shifting beauty standards from external fixes to ...

Mo Khalil is the Hok Lam and Kathleen Kam Wong Professor of Bioengineering and Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology at ...

Although wolf-canine interbreeding has been considered extremely rare, the latest research shows that many present-day ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing ...

This comprehensive e-book from The Hindu explores how gene editing tools like CRISPR and synthetic biology are fundamentally changing what it means to be human and are giving us the power to modify ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

Scientists studying thousands of rats discovered that gut bacteria are shaped by both personal genetics and the genetics of ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

Obesity is not a single disease. New research shows distinct biological phenotypes that explain why weight gain and treatment ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.
