Experiments reveal that a time-dependent epistatic interaction influences how mice respond to opioids, and that intracellular fibroblast growth factors also influence opioid sensitivity.

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

Extra chromosomes, found in some fish, contain copied genes that don’t work but can still impact the organism. Research shows ...

Researchers discover that insect sex systems influence the speed of mitochondrial evolution, impacting biodiversity tracking ...

A study in fruit flies suggests an internal genomic arms race may be driving rapid evolution in proteins that still perform an essential, unchanging job: protecting chromosome ends.

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve which connects the heart to the rest of the body. It affects millions of people and can be fatal if left untreated. At present, there are no ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

Scientists have finally uncovered the exact DNA sequence where human chromosomes fuse to form Robertsonian chromosomes, a mystery that has puzzled researchers for over a century. Using advanced genome ...
