Next-generation sequencing diagnostics are already being used, and patients are ready.
Transcriptome studies reveal new insights about unusual animals whose genomes have not been sequenced.
A red alga appears to have adapted to extremely hot, acidic environments by collecting genes from bacteria and archaea.
What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
Physicists and biologists are working together to understand cooperation at all levels of life, from the cohesion of molecules to interspecies interactions.
Disruptions in the interaction between nuclear and mitochondrial DNA can lead to deficiencies in the mitochondrial energy-generating process, affecting fitness.
A study suggests that some mouse models do not accurately mimic human molecular mechanisms of inflammatory response, but other mouse strains may fare better.
Protein aggregates in the brains of some people with dementia or motor neuron disease have a surprising origin.
A putative ion channel integral to mammalian hearing turns out to be an elusive salt-sensing chemoreceptor in nematode worms.
The majority of human melanomas contain mutations in a gene promoter, suggesting mutations in regulatory regions may spur some cancers.
