Scientists have uncovered how brewer’s yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome separation during cell division. By studying related yeast species, ...

Large-scale evolutionary analysis shows most zoonotic viruses emerge without prior adaptation, while passing through a laboratory leaves detectable genetic signatures, offering a new tool to interpret ...

Gene-edited animals, including faster-growing fish, heat-tolerant cows and disease-resistant pigs, have already been approved in the United States, Japan and several countries in South America. These ...

Michael Rout has spent decades studying the molecular machinery that controls all traffic in and out of the cell’s nucleus. His research could lead to new treatments for cancer and viral diseases.

Psychiatric diagnosis still relies on symptom checklists that were never designed to reflect biology. A peer-reviewed invited review published in Brain Medicine now synthesizes recent advances across ...

Proteoforms, the diverse molecular variants of proteins, are key to understanding cellular functions, disease mechanisms, and ...

A systematic review of 52 scientific papers submitted to a world-leading clinical genetics journal from multiple scientists ...
