The way in which mRNA transcripts are cut can influence the elasticity of the organ.

The invertebrate predators prey on and lay their eggs near emerging tadpoles, potentially threatening the conservation of endangered frogs, researchers find.

Using reverse genetics, researchers create antibodies to reel in previously uncultured bacteria.

Clues about the biological mechanisms that contribute to a person’s chance of contemplating or attempting suicide

Working with bacteriophages and nematodes, the University of California, Berkeley, molecular biologist uncovered a role for genetic switches in early development.

With millions of pigs killed due to a major outbreak of African swine fever virus in Asia, researchers have intensified efforts to find a vaccine quickly.

They’ve survived volcanic eruptions, but one Caribbean island’s mountain chicken frogs might need help from scientists to escape the lethal chytrid fungus.

Understanding how domestic pigs can be infected with the deadly virus could be key to protecting them from it.

It’s now clear that gene transcripts can be constructed in various ways, yet many questions remain about the process.
