Medicine & TechnologyDifferent biological studies have utilized the principles of cell mutation profiles in various research applications. Cell mutation profiles can also reveal history of each cells and their behaviors.
Molecular geneticists have painstakingly compared the genomes of multiple strains of cacao to study its genomic structural variants, which give rise to the differences within populations of the plant.
DeepMind and EMBL developed a new AI-powered 3D modeling system to predict protein structures for future biological and medical studies. The protein modeling system, AlphaFold, will be free for public usage.
There remains an exception to the genetic inheritance- and two teams have investigated a case where a biological trait was transferred not through genes, but through a memory mechanism.
A new study found that bats are harboring viruses from 39 different viral families which include some viruses which have the potential risk of jumping to other animals, as well as humans, and lead to disease.
A pair of Cambridge University professors took home 1 million euro ($1.22 million) from the Millennium Technology Prize, known as the Finnish Nobel science prize, for their pioneering work in a superfast DNA sequencing technology.
Genomes with Steppe-related ancestry were found on various archeological sites in Italy. It changed the views of the Italian Peninsula's ancient history.
A new study on ancient genomes reveals insights on the genetic events that signaled the rise, peak, and decline of the Scythians - an ancient civilization known as fearsome warriors on horseback that dominated the Eurasian steppes.
Unlike rabbits and guinea pigs which are both considered prey and pets, goldfish have a special genome that left its past as food and became purely decoration.
