Scientists employ deep learning to analyze and compare gene regulation across various cell types in human and chicken brains.
But some plants have taken a different approach ... Some of these species are stranger yet: Their sex chromosomes are bizarrely outsized. The diminutive white campion plant, for instance, packs ...
A first-ever analysis of the whole Greenland shark genome gives researchers a couple of clues to their longevity.
Ancient DNA is telling us more and more about humans and environments long past. Could it also help rescue the future?
A new study used deep-learning AI to help uncover how the brain's evolution differed over the past 320 million years in ...
These canines “survived for a reason,” an expert told us. But what exactly is causing these rapid genetic transformations?
This chromosome has likely been around for 480 million years, since before octopuses split apart from the nautilus on the evolutionary tree. That makes it one of the oldest known animal sex ...
While genetic tests can reveal the ancestry of enslaved individuals, strontium analysis can now home in on where they actually grew up.
A new species of manzanita—a native California shrub famous for its twisted branches and wildfire resilience—has been ...
A new study reveals how AI-driven deep learning models can decode the genetic regulatory switches that define brain cell ...
