Swedish scientists retrieved RNA from an extinct Tasmanian tiger to help trace the genes that were active in the animal’s ...

In the damp understory of forests in Taiwan, mainland Japan, and Okinawa, a plant called Balanophora can fool you at first ...

Researchers in Sweden recovered RNA from a 130-year-old Tasmanian tiger, allowing them to identify which genes were active in its tissues before extinction.

University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments. The ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...

MPN-BP transformation is driven by sequential mutations disrupting genomic stability, with TP53 mutations being strong predictors of progression. TP53 mutations confer a selective growth advantage, ...

Researchers discovered the gene that gives a rare wheat variety its unusual “triple-grain” trait. When switched on, the gene helps wheat flowers produce extra grain-bearing parts. The finding could ...

Seven years ago, I took a bet from one of the most controversial figures in the scientific world. Charles Murray, the political scientist who—along with the late psychologist Richard Herrnstein—wrote ...

Wheat feeds billions, so even small gains matter a great deal. It is also vast in scope, covering more than 215 million hectares each year, according to a recent study. A new resource maps which wheat ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues represent the predominant sample conservation method in clinical practice, yet degraded and crosslinked RNA has long limited whole-transcriptome ...
