Researchers have built a detailed map of DNA methylation changes in nearly 1,000 human brains from six weeks after conception ...

Few species have their own sequenced genome, so genetic researchers often use DNA sequences from a related species as a stand-in. A study published in Cell shows that in animals such as gray foxes, ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development ...

Chimpanzees, along with bonobos, are humans' closest living relatives. In fact, you may have heard that humans and chimps ...

The method, known as EVOFLUx, uses natural fluctuations in DNA methylation as a kind of molecular “barcode” to reconstruct a ...

Many people view European cisco roe as a delicacy. A new study has shown that there are different types of European cisco in ...

The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham's Bladder Cancer Research Center have used a new method to detect chemical ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development ...

Ginseng (Panax ginseng), long valued as the “king of medicinal plants,” faces breeding challenges due to its slow growth, limited seed production, and complex tetraploid genome.

An ambitious and revolutionary initiative aims to map every cell of all eukaryotic life on Earth. The result will be a ...

A global study shows human DNA adapted to local minerals like zinc, iodine, and magnesium, shaped by diet and soil.
