In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard ...

New research shows that we regularly transfer traces of our genital microbiomes to sexual partners—a discovery that could ...

Many studies have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to infer gene regulatory networks (GRNs), which are crucial for ...

Forensic scientists investigating cases of sexual assault may be able to use the genital microbiome to identify the ...

The bacterial composition of our genital microbiome is as unique as we are, and it's transferred during sex, according to new ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a novel synthetic method that enhances bacteria's ability to produce higher quantities of specific proteins, including those that would typically ...

Is Earth really exceptional?  A new book seems to reaffirm that notion.  But given the right conditions, primitive life may be a mere byproduct of biophysics.

There are many molecules with therapeutic potential, but it can be a challenge to deliver them to the right places at the ...

This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists and colleagues discuss phenomics, exposomics, and the factors that influence DNA ...
