A unique organism sighted only once, more than a century ago, could shed light on the evolution of multicellularity—if it ever actually existed.
Laboratory-raised populations of dung beetles reveal a mother's extragenetic influence on the physiques of her sons.
Epigenetic changes accrued over an organism’s lifetime may leave a permanent heritable mark on the genome, through the help of long noncoding RNAs.
Scientists unravel the confusing molecular biology behind a fruit fly’s reliance on a single type of cactus.
A new study finds male genes in women’s brains, the first evidence of microchimerism in the human brain.
Mice raised in isolation from their mothers developed cognitive deficits similar to those of babies raised in orphanages where physical contact is infrequent.
A massive project involving hundreds of scientists suggests that very little—if any—of the human genome is truly non-functional.
