Plants grow best when genetics inside cells cooperate, while mismatched genetics reduce photosynthesis and climate resilience ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

In the late 2010s eight macaque monkeys were born at a laboratory in Shanghai. At first they seemed much like the other infants in the colony, but differences soon became obvious. They were much more ...

A new machine-learning approach helps scientists more efficiently identify the optimal intervention to achieve a certain outcome in a complex system, such as genome regulation, requiring far fewer ...
