DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

IDH-mutant glioma, caused by abnormalities in a specific gene (IDH), is the most common malignant brain tumor among young adults under the age of 50.

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

Natalie Rowe, a 42-year-old web designer living in the United Kingdom, noticed she felt a little bit like she was losing her ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...

A reduced genome in an island species raises evolutionary questions.

Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...

A novel iLDS statistic uncovers adaptive gene sweeps in gut bacteria, highlighting evolutionary responses to modern diets and enhancing microbiome studies.

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about ...

ABSTRACT: What is number? This question is difficult to answer. Because the number is one of the most basic concepts, it is difficult to define the natural number with other concepts. Still, this ...

In the field of biomedicine and public health, continuous viral mutation and evolution may enable viruses to cross species barriers, infect non-natural hosts, and subsequently trigger human-to-human ...
