Genetics laboratory Colossal Biosciences claims its dire wolf pups Romulus and Remus have resurrected the long-lost species—but the semantics are debatable.

And they discovered it completely by accident.

Programmable RNA sensor and molecular tools refine therapeutic payload production

Tiny scraps of genetic material from bamboo might influence the genes of pandas, helping them adapt to a mostly bamboo diet.

Increased visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure fluctuations are associated with elevated risks for foetal growth restriction and preterm birth in hypertensive pregnancies.

A new analysis of BP products and benzene degradation finds that formulation matters, with leave-on products having lower benzene, and levels 'unlikely to be a clinically meaningful issue,' a researcher said.

The source of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, remains elusive. With "low confidence," some federal agencies favor the theory that it originated in and leaked from a Chinese laboratory performing "gain of function" research, while most scientists appear to be more persuaded that it came from a zoonotic spillover in a wildlife market.

The discovery that other vertebrates have healthy microbial brains is fueling questions about our own brains

Aging gracefully comes naturally to these creatures, which can live for hundreds, and sometimes even thousands, of years

Researchers at the University of Southampton in the UK successfully stored the entirety of the human genome sequence onto an indestructible 5D optical memory crystal no bigger...

MIT researchers have revealed a way to reprogram critical immune cells and direct them toward anti-tumor immunity via vaccination.

Some human populations gained extra genes to help break down starch in only 12,000 years.

Simplified and more aggressive targets are among the significant changes to the updated hypertension guidelines by the European Society of Cardiology.

For over a decade, scientists have made extraordinary progress on the long-held dream of fabricating an entire cell from nonliving molecules and materials.

A genetic study led by researchers from RIKEN's Center for Integrative Medical Sciences has uncovered evidence that people in Japan descend from three ancestral groups.

How the rapidly evolving field of archaeogenetics is unlocking secrets of the past

Some people look at you as if you have a cancer death wish when they see a Diet Coke can in your hand. But their glass of wine is a far greater risk. Here's why.

In an examination of the genetic material found in historic potato leaves, North Carolina State University researchers reveal more about the tit-for-tat evolutionary changes occurring in both potato plants and the pathogen that caused the 1840s Irish potato famine.

A collaboration between researchers at the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge, has solved a decades-old mystery which could pave the way to better cancer treatments in the future.
