Analyzing 104 Zygnematophyceae transcriptomes across 2,243 loci, including 43 newly sequenced datasets, a phylogenomic study ...

Human, chimpanzee and gorilla brain organoids reveal how shared genes operate differently, offering clues to stem-cell shape ...

Genetic analysis of Anopheles sinensis mosquitoes across nine Shandong locations reveals high haplotype diversity, weak ...

Population genetic structure refers to the non-random distribution of genetic variation within and between populations of a species. It arises from factors such as migration, drift, selection and ...

Understanding population structure is crucial for designing and interpreting human genetic studies. This is of particular importance for Iran as a large, ethnically diverse country whose population ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment opportunity for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The discovery, ...

Every cell in the human body contains about 2 meters of DNA, roughly the length of a bed. Though too small to see with the naked eye, DNA is intricately organized, allowing it to govern cellular ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

Brain self-organization, not genetic blueprinting, builds the brain's 100 trillion synaptic connections. MIT neuroscientist Ila Fiete argues in a Perspectives essay for The Transmitter that genes ...

Nearly every cell in your body contains the exact same DNA, from your skin cells to your brain cells. But how does a cell know how and when to turn into skin, muscle or brain? Imagine that the DNA in ...
