Is complex social behavior genetically determined? Yes, as a team of biologists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf ...

Denisovans were an extinct human group identified almost entirely through DNA rather than complete skeletons. First discovered in Siberia, their genetic legacy is still present in populations across ...

Ultra-processed diets are driving gut bacteria to evolve rapidly at a genetic level. Microbes now switch on DNA fragments to ...

Scientists have discovered that brown bears living near human settlements in Italy have become smaller and less aggressive in the process of evolution. This was reported by Science X magazine on ...

Drug development in biotechnology takes time. A lot of time. On average, it takes 10 to 15 years to take a medicine from initial discovery to approval for patient use. For patients, that means waiting ...

Humans were isolated in southern Africa for about 100,000 years, which caused them to "fall outside the range of genetic variation" seen in modern-day people, a new genetic study reveals. The finding ...

Fulgent Genetics is rated Hold due to strong diagnostic revenue growth but an unproven transition into integrated precision medicine. FLGT's diagnostics business leads with rapid genome tests and ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

In tropical climates, lizards are everywhere. It can be a bit wild to see, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They seem a tad superfluous in such large varieties leaving one to wonder, what ...
