Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...

ETH Zurich scientists have created “MetaGraph,” a revolutionary DNA search engine that functions like Google for genetic data. By compressing global genomic datasets by a factor of 300, it allows ...

There are words that are easy to understand, and then, there are words like “recondite.” The thing about “recondite” is that it doesn’t just describe something obscure and complex to figure out, it is ...

Most phylogenetic trees are inferred using time-reversible evolutionary models that assume that the relative rates of substitution for any given pair of nucleotides are the same regardless of the ...

“The Lowdown,” Sterlin Harjo’s new series, after co-creating the brilliant “Reservation Dogs” with Taika Waititi, is a genre exercise — a noir-nodding murder mystery — much as Donald Glover followed ...

The first three episodes of Ironheart are now streaming on Disney+. The remaining three episodes premiere Tuesday, July 1. Across centuries and cultures, innumerable stories have followed the same ...

Mpox virus (MPXV) clade Ib emerged in South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2023. 1 The emergence of clade Ib is characterized by rapid eastward spread from the Democratic Republic of ...

ABSTRACT: DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, carrying encoded genetic information at molecular level, is the most significant discovery in the history of genetics. Previous researches on DNA included topics ...

Abstract: DNA-based data storage offers unprecedented information density and durability, but its practical implementation is hindered by sequencing errors that can ...
