CITE-seq draws upon the unbiased nature of single-cell RNA sequencing to gather new insights about protein and gene expression within the same cell.

Free-swimming bacteria settle on a surface to cooperate and form a protective biofilm.

From spatial structuring to policing, cooperative bacteria have a wide toolkit to contain the spread of cheaters.

Although scientists often assume that synonymous mutations don’t cause any biological effects because they don’t alter the amino acid code, recent research shows that they can influence transcription and translation in a variety of ways. 

The experimental device, known as MAGENTA, forces muscles to contract, simulating natural movement. 

Research on so-called selfish genetic loci is providing scientists with greater insight into the biology of chromosome segregation and inheritance.

Explore the latest developments in brain organoid production.

Unlike other fast-growing cells, regenerating tadpole cells fuel growth using the pentose phosphate pathway rather than glycolysis, a study indicates.

Jumping genes are let loose in cancerous cells, with multiple effects on cell health.

In both the laboratory and clinic, scientists harness viral genetic transfer capabilities to develop gene therapies that modulate cellular function.

Chinook make their way up the Klamath River every year, but fewer and fewer arrive in the spring.

Microscopic algae dotted with drug-filled nanoparticles may offer a more effective means of treatment than traditional delivery methods.

Various concerned groups have been petitioning NOAA Fisheries to list spring-run Chinook salmon in Oregon and Northern California for over a decade.
