This image metaphorically captures the cell differentiation process during retinal organoid development. Loose yarn representing uncompacted DNA is wound by a crochet hook around buttons representing ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...

A team that includes Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists has unlocked some of the secrets of corn DNA, revealing how specific sections of genetic material control vital traits such as plant ...

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 ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

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 ...

A major collaboration between UC San Diego and 23andMe identified genes that shape cannabis use behaviors. The study linked the CADM2 and GRM3 genes to cannabis use and connected these patterns to ...

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 ...
