A new microfluidics chip lets researchers analyze the nucleic acids of 300 individual cells simultaneously.
Researchers identify new mutations in schizophrenia patients without a family history of the disease.
The Nobel Prize winner who discovered the gene that encodes the major histocompatibility complex passes away at age 90.
As the planet warms plant growth will likely increase—locking up some of that extra carbon dioxide by converting it into vegetative biomass—but that’s not the whole story. In addition to direct effects of rising temperatures and altered rainfall, mor
Motivated by a career-ending ligament tear, a former NFL player starts a company to test athletes' genetic predispositions to common sports injuries.

Using the strongest molecular binding partnership in biology to separate different cell types
Isolating specific cell types from a mass of plant or animal tissue is laborious and tricky. To study epigenetic changes and genes that are expressed differently in different cell lineages—such as cancer cells versus normal cells, or the two types of
New research suggests that the flow of carbon through plants to underground ecosystems may be crucial to how the environment responds to climate change.
