Systems biologist Steven Wiley says advancements in two areas—single-cell biology and CRISPR—are poised to transform research.  

The year’s most impressive achievements include ecology research via drone, mice with two dads, and the use of artificial intelligence to identify and monitor cancer cells.

STARmap enables simultaneous analysis of multiple RNAs in intact, bulky samples.

STARmap reveals expression levels of multiple genes within thick tissue sections.

Soil scientists use a gas-producing reporter system to assess gene activity in bacteria.

RNA-sequencing data reveal that specific tissues have distinct changes in gene expression after an individual has passed away.

At the University of California, Santa Cruz, the researcher combs the cancer genome, looking for weaknesses.

Stress-related genes may be preferentially and rhythmically expressed as part of the circadian rhythms of older fruit flies, researchers report.
