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.
Long non-protein-coding RNA (lncRNA) sequences are often transcribed from the opposite, or antisense, strand of a protein coding gene. In the past few years, research has shown that these lncRNAs play a number of regulatory roles in the cell. For exa
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.
Privacy advocates are arguing that collecting genetic data upon arrest is an invasion of privacy, given recent evidence that 80 percent of the human genome is functional.
Mice raised in isolation from their mothers developed cognitive deficits similar to those of babies raised in orphanages where physical contact is infrequent.
