How did digits evolve? While it is clear that they derive from genetic programs already present in fish, their precise origin ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in ...

Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been ...

Researchers reveal epigenetic memory works like a dimmer switch, enabling more cell types than previously recognized.

Scientists found honey bee genes tied to social behavior that resemble human ones, suggesting ancient shared roots.

Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.

In the post-genomic era, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in various cancers and hold potential as minimally invasive diagnostic biomarkers. This study aimed to ...

In a study in mice, researchers have identified genes associated with the dramatic transformation of the mammary gland in ...
