We found that one worm can learn to avoid this pathogenic bacterium and if we grind up that worm, or even just use the media the worms are swimming in, and give that media or the crushed – worm lysate…

Moreover, the terms same – sex sexual behavior ( SSB ) and different – sex sexual behavior ( DSB ) more accurately describe the observation of individual sexual interactions, without making assumptions as to how those same individuals may behave…

The human genome has not been completely sequenced and neither has any other mammalian genome as far as I’m aware”, said Harvard Medical School bioengineer George Church, who made key early advances in sequencing technology. The claim, if confirmed, surpasses…

Despite the wide diversity of life on Earth, there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet: A, T, C and G. These four molecular bases – adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine-pair with each other using hydrogen bonds to form…

The immune system relies on antibodies that can recognize only a single protein. “We wanted to figure out methods to graft complete, intact electronic circuits onto colloidal particles”, explains Michael Strano, the Carbon C. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering at…

In January 2019, scientists in China reported the creation of five identical clonedgene-edited monkeys, using the same cloning technique that was used with Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, and the same gene-editing Crispr-Cas9 technique allegedly used by He Jiankui in…

A team led by Viviane Slon and Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig, Germany, carried out genetic analysis on a fragment of bone, more than 50,000 years old, found in a cave in Russia.…

Even fifteen years after the human genome has been sequenced, researchers are still unsure about much of the data. Frank Jacobs of the University of Amsterdam was comparing gene expression patterns in cortical organoids grown from embryonic stem cells of…

As AIBN researcher and study researcher Dr. Abu Sina explains: “Because cancer is an extremely complicated and variable disease, it has been difficult to find a simple signature common to all cancers, yet distinct from a healthy cell” . Patients…

A team of Florida State University researchers has unlocked a decades-old mystery about how a critical cellular process is regulated and what that could mean for the future study of genetics. All of this work has, however, been based on…
