New research has illustrated how harmful Salmonella bacteria use gut bioelectricity to find entry points for infection.

Researchers discovered a “spatial grammar” in DNA that controls gene activity based on the positioning of transcription factors. The discovery could reshape our understanding of genetic expression and disease.

Scientists at the University of Vienna have identified potential multipotent stem cells in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. These cells, regulated by ancient conserved genes, allow the anemone to regenerate and potentially avoid aging.

Scientists have identified retroelement DNA markers that act as accurate epigenetic clocks for biological aging. The Retro-Age clock offers the potential for tracking anti-aging therapies.

A novel method enables honey adulteration to be detected without opening the jar.

Combining demographic data with genetic diversity studies provides a more accurate picture of extinction risk, a new study shows.

Researchers found a new class of RNA in blood nanoparticles, potentially paving the way for less invasive cancer diagnosis. They used next-generation RNA sequencing and other innovative tools to develop a cost-effective liquid biopsy test.

Knocking out a gene linked to brain circuitry leads to several hallmark behaviors of autism, a new study has found.

Inherited diseases of metabolism and immunity have more in common than previously recognized, according to a new study. The findings point to a new set of metabolic genes that are important for the function of immune system T cells.

Ancient mitochondrial DNA suggests a complex social history of dogs during the early colonial period.
