Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

If nonliving materials can produce rich, organized mixtures of organic molecules, then the traditional signs we use to ...

Large language models like ChatGPT could soon drastically lower the informational barriers for planning and executing ...

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has become impossible to ignore.

A collaborative study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, and University of Southern California reports on how a process known as alternative splicing, often described as ...

The woolly mammoth is probably the single most iconic extinct mammal, leading to seemingly never-ending efforts to resurrect it. To do that, however, scientists will need a good understanding of their ...

Unlike DNA, which offers genetic potential, RNA captures a snapshot of gene activity in real time. This new approach offers scientists an unexpectedly intimate look at the final biological moments of ...

Almost 40,000 years ago, a juvenile woolly mammoth died in modern-day Siberia. Today, its long-frozen remains have yielded the oldest sequences of RNA—messenger molecules that carry out genetic ...

Nov. 15 (UPI) --The well-preserved remains of a woolly mammoth found in Siberia enabled scientists to extract RNA for the first time and learn more about the animal. The woolly mammoth died about ...

This important study uses single-neuron Patch-seq RNA sequencing to investigate the process by which RNA editing can produce protein diversity and regulate function in various cellular contexts. The ...
