Researchers track the evolution of HIV in a single patient to understand what drives the production of broadly neutralizing antibodies.

Scientists are using genetic techniques to target diseases that affect how we see, hear, smell, taste, and feel.

Researchers find that temporary double-stranded DNA breaks commonly result from normal neuron activation—but expression of an Alzheimer’s-linked protein increases the damage.

Researchers show that a bacterium’s self-sacrifice can benefit its community, even when the members are not strongly related.

Researchers find remarkably active bacteria in the Mariana Trench, where they live under pressure 1,000 times greater than at the surface.

Researchers identify the target protein of a recently discovered human coronavirus, shedding light on infection and possible interspecies spread.

A red alga appears to have adapted to extremely hot, acidic environments by collecting genes from bacteria and archaea.

Researchers are using DNA to compute, power, and sense.

A chance encounter with a crab apple tree leads to the discovery of a new bacterial species and clues to the evolution of insect endosymbionts.

Blind tadpoles regain vision when new eyes are grafted onto their tails. 

Transplanting mouse neurons into rats allows the neurons to survive twice as long as they would in mice.

A new faster-switching, longer-lasting GFP allows gentler and faster high resolution microscopy on living cells.
