Smoking leaves epigenetic marks on DNA long after cessation, with consequences for adaptive immunity.

Researchers generated complete genomes of two important bat species and explored their immune- and cancer-related genes.

p53 is possibly the most important protein for maintaining cellular function. Losing it is synonymous with cancer.

A reference sequence for this emerging model organism will facilitate research on type 2 diabetes and the health effects of circadian rhythm disruption.

Researchers aim to unravel the molecular mechanisms by which a single genotype gives rise to diverse castes in eusocial organisms.

Thirty years out from the start of the Human Genome Project, researchers have finally finished sequencing the full 3 billion bases of a person’s genetic code. But even a complete reference genome has its shortcomings.

Immunoglobulin genes might have evolved much earlier than previously expected, perhaps even in the common ancestor of Cnidarians and Bilateria, a study suggests.

Animals with human cells could provide donor organs or help us understand neuropsychiatric disorders.

Bioengineered bacteria sneak past solid tumor defenses to guide CAR T cells’ attacks.
