Newly constructed ramps will expand the habitat available to a colony of water voles in London, and similar ramps elsewhere could encourage isolated populations to mix.
The passenger pigeon was hunted to extinction 99 years ago, but researchers are planning to use DNA from museum specimens to bring the bird back to life.
Next-generation sequencing diagnostics are already being used, and patients are ready.
A surgeon sues the Nobel Assembly for excluding him from last year’s prize awarded for regenerative science, but stem cell scientists are skeptical of his claims.
Researchers mix cells from human adult gum tissue with tooth-inducing cells from mouse embryos to grow new hybrid teeth complete with roots.
Transcriptome studies reveal new insights about unusual animals whose genomes have not been sequenced.
Native Australian frog tadpoles outcompete the tadpoles of the invasive cane toad, suggesting the native frogs could form part of a suburban control program.
What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
A large genome-wide study has identified four single-nucleotide polymorphisms shared between five major psychiatric disorders.
