Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...

Adverse genetic mutations can cause harm and are due to various circumstances. "Jumping genes" are one cause of mutations, ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

It's time for researchers to reconsider the current paradigm of cancer as a genetic disease, argues Sui Huang from the ...

Sexual reproduction allows for a recombination of genetic material that can lead to variations among organisms. And while having separate male and female components is typical, in biology there ...

Amid climate uncertainty, curators at the Bigelow National Center for Marine Algae and Microbiota are hopeful that if there’s ...

In biology and life, organisms have a basic drive to reproduce and every living thing needs energy. This is the topic for today's River Life column.

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

It's time for researchers to reconsider the current paradigm of cancer as a genetic disease, argued Sui Huang from the Institute for Systems Biology, USA, and colleagues in a new essay published March ...

A research team has developed a groundbreaking deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton -- the structural framework inside cells -- more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) demonstrate that the way sardines eat, altered due to the ...
