Imagine your doctor calls you to discuss the results of your genetic testing. They tell you your results indicate you are ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the ...

A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite that causes malaria in humans, has been generated. The map contains the most ...

UC Santa Cruz genomics experts gained new insights into the campus's endearingly eccentric mascot — and overcame the unique ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon—using a cellular platform that they developed ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more ...

Structural variants in the human genome include cytogenetically detectable and submicroscopic deletions, duplications, large-scale copy-number variants, inversions and translocations. The ability ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

For technical reasons, the English full text will be published approximately two weeks after the German print edition has been published.

The immense variation in the amount of DNA contained in the cells of organisms has long fascinated scientists. Known as the genome size (GS), or C-value of a species, the amount of DNA in one entire ...
