Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the brain tend to cluster together mostly because they are abundant, not because ...

Measuring distances “as the crow flies” on Google Maps just got easier with a hidden feature in the mobile app. While most users rely on Google Maps for navigation routes, this direct line measurement ...

Our writers and contributors have chosen their favourite ever science-y books, films, TV shows, music, video games, board games and more to see you through the festive period ...

Decades ago, India’s tigers were on the brink of extinction. Slowly, their numbers have rebounded. But that ecological success has prompted a dire problem—and a race to save many of them from genetic ...

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 ...

AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

Disease development is often shaped by genetics, with how much or how little a gene is expressed influencing disease risk. While advances in technology and sequencing methods have led to a greater ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH have developed a computational method that can reveal how cells change and ...

A research team uncovered the most comprehensive genomic landscape to date for the kiwifruit genus Actinidia, constructing a super pan-genome based on 14 haplotype-resolved genomes. The study ...
