Researchers have identified that the precisely timed transcription of two genes named grim and reaper is responsible for the targeted death of neurons within the developing nervous system of female ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

Horses have played a critical role in shaping human society, but scientists are still piecing together the story of their domestication. Reading time 3 minutes Roughly 4,500 years ago, humans forged a ...

(NewsNation) — DNA matching Travis Decker, the man suspected of killing his three daughters in Washington state, was the only DNA found at the scene of the girls’ deaths other than their own, ...

A research team from Temple University in Philadelphia analyzed the synergies and trade-offs of land conversion to agrivoltaics and other multi-use solar energy landscapes globally. They found that co ...

The persistent threat of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) to the global swine industry is exacerbated by the virus’s high mutation rate and frequent recombination events. In ...

Smithsonian researchers used fecal samples to identify specific wild swift foxes. This method allows for non-invasive monitoring, which reduces stress for the animals. Wes Overvold, Smithsonian’s ...

There are several ways to search the web in Apple's Safari browser. In this article, we're going to highlight a way of searching specific websites using a lesser-known Safari feature called Quick ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

Human exonuclease 1 (EXO1), a member of the structure-specific nuclease family, plays a critical role in maintaining genome stability by processing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), nicks, and ...

The rare genetic disease kills 50% of babies diagnosed with it by early infancy. Just six months after a newborn at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening ...

Base editors can correct disease-causing genetic variants. After a neonate had received a diagnosis of severe carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency, a disease with an estimated 50% mortality in ...
