Hermit crabs have the most chromosomes of any animal, with 254. Chromosomes carry genetic information in the form of DNA. Genes located on autosomes determine the inheritance of physical traits. Sex ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to design thousands of new DNA switches that can precisely control the expression of a gene in different cell types. Their new approach opens the ...

Bacterial cells can "remember" brief, temporary changes to their bodies and immediate surroundings, a new Northwestern University and University of Texas-Southwestern study has found. And, although ...

Despite their utility, everyday essentials—cosmetics, food packaging, plastics—can contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These stealthy invaders can slip into the body through skin absorption ...

Most people know that inherited traits between generations is a genetic process, but a new study says other inheritable mechanisms may exist. Scientists at the University of Toronto studying the ...

Popular genetics tests can’t tell you much about your dog’s personality, according to a recent study. A team of geneticists ...
