His method of locating genes in human DNA allowed researchers to find disease-causing genes, and later to map the entire, ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

When many disease-causing bacteria encounter penicillin, they are not always destroyed right away, shifting into a temporary survival state called antibiotic tolerance. This state allows them to ...

Voluntary exercise reshapes gut microbiota and tryptophan metabolism, with consequences for the hippocampus, the ...

Something happens when a rat starts running. Not just the obvious things, the faster heart, the warming muscles, the rhythmic percussion of paws against the wheel. Something quieter. Something that ...

If corn was ever jealous of soybean’s relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, advancements in gene editing could one day even the playing field. A recent study from the University of Illinois ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. DNA visualisation A new Alzheimer's study has produced a first-of-its-kind genetic map, which could provide vital insights into ...

Autism spectrum disorder is complex; it presents differently in different patients, and the causes are still unclear, even though hundreds of small changes in gene sequences have been linked to an ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

A newly discovered promoter element "start" points to a shared regulatory syntax for controlling transcription initiation in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. DNA is often described as the language ...

Bacteriophage therapy is emerging as a promising alternative to antibiotics, particularly in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance. However, concerns remain regarding host shifts, where ...
