The code of life is now editable and the question humanity must answer in the 2020s is not whether we can rewrite it—but whether we should, and for whom.
More than a decade after the first Neanderthal genome was sequenced, scientists are still working to understand how ...
Researchers discovered that some variants of the gene known as GRIN2A can cause certain conditions all on their own.
The developmental period is a critical window during which environmental cues interact with the genome to shape lifelong trajectories of health and disease.
Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform—from bacteria to blue whales—shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific controversy.
Recent research highlights a newly discovered biological signal related to epigenetic modifications in the blood, particularly DNA methylation, which might improve understanding of children's ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The authors' approach to use genetic code expansion to tag two ALS proteins associated with stress granules has ...
Daigle’s research showed that 87% of his 331 students had French ancestry, 81% had Indigenous ancestry and 70% specifically ...
Some children recover better after traumatic brain injury than others, despite appearing similarly to doctors. Looking at the ...
Juicy probably isn’t the word. Succulent? Tender? Not moist. Whichever adjective you choose, the New York Mets rumors of their interest in Trevor Megill hit on ...
