Statistics that quantify a person’s predisposition to diseases such as diabetes and cancer can be reverse-engineered to reveal the underlying genetic data, prompting privacy concerns ...

The Amazon molly is an evolutionary enigma: an all-female fish that reproduces by cloning itself. Because it doesn’t mix its DNA with a mate’s, Darwinian logic holds that harmful mutations should pile ...

Population crashes are dangerous and can be irreversible. But new research shows they are not always an evolutionary dead end.

Vegetative propagation is the backbone of commercial chrysanthemum production, yet large differences in rooting ability among varieties continue to ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...

Genetic research reveals that six amino acid differences affected neural stem cell division in modern humans compared to Neanderthals. Subtle variations in brain development may have influenced ...

Abstract: Implementing error correcting codes is a challenging problem in information theory and the search for optimal codes, those of maximum size, has been the ...

eSpeaks’ Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

A new study, published today in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights on the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint ...

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Laboratories, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) offering CLIA-certified laboratory developed tests (LDTs) based ...

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...
