A team from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) has developed an innovative ...

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. Thirty times ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Scientists first aim to design genomes with minimal changes compared to the wild type to minimize the risk of failure. “The native ...

Around 45 percent of human DNA is made up of transposable elements, or TEs—genetic leftovers from now-extinct viruses that scientists once believed to be “junk DNA.” But that view is changing, and a ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

Scientists have sequenced the largest known animal genome — and it's 30 times bigger than the human genome. The genome belongs to the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa), a primeval, ...

Whether they are a Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, or Domestic Shorthair, there are hundreds of millions of cats living with ...

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. When you ...
