After tracking physical characteristics of the common pea plant through multiple generations, Gregor Mendel realized that inheritance follows specific patterns. Mendel’s discovery led to what we ...

Under these circumstances, there are more than two gene products affecting the same phenotype, and these products may have complex hierarchical relationships. Any time two different genes ...

For human tissues, prior experimental manipulations are impractical, and genomic alterations are employed. Somatic mutations mark subclones and their fates can be reconstructed with DNA sequencing ...

1 Homozygous for allele r rr Wrinkled 2 Homozygous for allele R RR Round Plants 2 and 3 both have the same phenotype even though they have different genotypes. This is because the effect of allele ...

Snails on a tiny rocky islet evolved before scientists' eyes. The marine snails were reintroduced after a toxic algal bloom ...

If you get a mutation in coding DNA, then the sequence of DNA could be changed. Changing the sequence of DNA can change the amino acids that make up the protein. This could have huge consequences.

This study demonstrates that plant and fruit volatiles can be organized according to a low-dimensional hyperbolic map, and that within this map exist trajectories that correspond to important ...

While the ceremonies were symbolic enactments of same-sex weddings, the real thing could be just around the corner. “When I was young, people said people like us couldn’t have a family ...

Immatics, a biotech company working on promising cell-based immunotherapies for solid cancers, has a promising TCR-engineered ...

Ryan Stidham, MD, MS, a leading AI researcher, shared his thoughts on how the field has evolved and where it's going, as well ...

The rumen microbiota—a symbiont to its host and consists of critical functional substances—plays a vital role in the animal ...
