Sheep shaped human history for 12,000 years. Scientists traced their migration, domestication, and genetic evolution.

A significant advancement in knowledge of the link between cognition and genetics has been made thanks to a study led by ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

For years, you've been warned about "Frankenfoods" lurking in your grocery store, but what if everything you thought you knew ...

The rise of pastoralist peoples in the Eurasian steppes and their westward spread some 5,000 years ago may have been fueled by sheep herding and people exploiting their milk. As early as 8,000 years ...

The Kowalinski group at EMBL Grenoble discovered notable differences between the nuclear cap-binding complex in trypanosomes and humans, a critical component in cellular RNA metabolism. Trypanosomes ...

Trypanosomes are parasites that cause sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and various animal diseases. Diagnosis and treatment remain complex and no effective vaccine has been developed. A better ...

We are using pre-clinical models and clinical trials to determine the efficacy of modifying gene splicing in neuromuscular diseases. Current work is focussing on regulating splicing of the SMN2 gene ...

The Kowalinski group at EMBL Grenoble identified significant differences between the trypanosomal and human nuclear ...

Rewilding advocates have long pushed for the return of the lynx and other lost species to Britain. But Texan businessman Ben ...

Every human being is a vast mosaic of cells that are mostly identical, but different here or there, from one cell or group of cells to the next. Cellular genomes might differ by a single genetic ...
