A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

The platypus is one of evolution's lovable, oddball animals. The creature seems to defy well-understood rules of biology by ...

Researchers demonstrated that declining Hedgehog signaling from Cilk1 loss produces stepwise changes in tooth formation ...

Astronomers spotted nine galaxies with characteristics that have never been seen as a collection before. It's possible this ...

In 2025, an Australian couple asked to have their remaining embryos moved to another clinic, only to discover that the child ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team ...
