Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...
For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...
Scientists have generated a new catalog of human gene expression data from around the world to address how most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries -- ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Gene expression, where cells use the genetic information encoded in DNA to produce proteins, has been thought of as a dimmer light. How much a particular gene gets expressed ...
Birds have a dazzling display of patterns, from muted colors to vivid and striking hues. For a long time, scientists believed that the evolution of these traits was a slow process that took place when ...
Researchers create Chinese Immune Multi-Omics Atlas, profiling more than 10 million immune cells and identifying 73 types of immune cells.
Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells remain largely unknown—yet understanding this is crucial for optimizing ...
Most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries—a long-standing bias that may limit the accuracy of scientific predictions for people from other populations.
