A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from ...

Later, Wacław Szybalski popularized the term in 1974 in reference to genetic engineering, but little did he know that one day ...

Dogs that are constantly hungry and prone to being overweight share a common bit of biology with some obesity-prone humans. This is what UK scientists have discovered - identifying a genetic source of ...

To sensitively detect gene transfer, we created a synthetic biology tool that introduces an identifiable barcode into RNA when microbes exchange DNA. When applied in a wastewater community ...

A recent study led by the UAB demonstrates the potential of gene therapy to restore motor capacity in an ultra-rare disease, ...

Over time, plants have evolved various strategies to defend against herbivores. A new study uncovers how these plant defense ...

Cells use small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) to transfer cargo and chemical messengers to neighboring and distant cells.

Paraphrase in combination with HiFi long-read sequencing provides a single framework for resolving highly similar paralogous ...

You may have heard of the fantastic-sounding "dark side of the genome." This poorly studied fraction of DNA, known as ...

Study highlights the role of long-term environmental changes in the evolution of predatory behaviour in nematodes ...

Scientists have identified new gene modifications that can make tomatoes and eggplants grow bigger, which could help boost yields in developing countries. Humans have been genetically engineering ...
