Uropathologists, for the first time, acknowledge issues with indolent Grade Group 1 tumors, which are leading to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of men with suspected prostate cancer.

A review evaluated the distribution and predictive capabilities of three genomic assays for breast cancer across different racial and ethnic populations.

Dire wolves, made famous by HBO's Game of Thrones, have been extinct for around 12,500 years. But thanks to genetic engineers at biotech company Colossal Biosciences, these majestic predators are back.

Hematologist-oncologist Mateo Mejia Saldarriaga, MD, combines clinical care with research aimed at helping patients with treatment-resistant multiple myeloma.

A new study on human evolution says that our ancestors split into 2 groups 1.5 million years ago, then merged to form modern humans, 300,000 years ago. The post Human evolution complexity revealed in astonishing new study first appeared on EarthSky.

Millions paid to give away their most personal data. At least in return they found out more about their earwax, says academic and author Adam Rutherford

Why ALZpath, GeneDX, 10x Genomics, Protagonist Therapeutics, and Recursion are among the most innovative biotech companies of 2025.

A rapid experimental genetic test can help guide the hands of surgeons as they delicately remove tumors from patients with brain cancer, new research suggests.

MIT spinout ReviveMed uses large-scale metabolomic data and AI to gain insights into how treatments work and which patients stand to benefit the most.

A new study has greatly expanded the number of gene variants thought to be tied to bipolar disorder.

Discover how researchers identified an octopus' ancient sex chromosomes and why their genetic history is such a mystery.

The National Science Foundation's funding freeze, and wider confusion about the status and future of science funding, is already hampering research.

The Alzheimer's Association advised against diagnosing the disease on biomarkers alone, but other experts said the genie can't be put back in the bottle.

In China, employing tools like genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, a research team from Zhejiang University uncovered promising pathways to improve abiotic stress tolerance. By combining precision genomics and advanced breeding techniques, the research marks a significant leap toward sustainable crop innovation. The study delves into the genetic underpinnings of Brassica napus […]

What is the bird flu pandemic risk? CDC analysis suggests the H5N1 virus has the capacity to mutate in ways that could make it more transmissible to humans.

MIT research finds intestinal bacterial interact much less often with viruses that trigger immunity updates than bacteria in the lab. The results will help to assess gut microbiome health.

In a genomic study encompassing more than 300 genomes, researchers determined the time period during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, starting about 50,500 years ago and lasting about 7,000 years -- until Neanderthals began to disappear.

Significant improvement in 5-year distant relapse-free interval with higher risk score

An analysis of genomes from some of the earliest modern humans to live in Europe reveals their ancestors interbred with Neanderthals in one period between 43,000 and 50,000 years ago.

The genome-editing technology can be supercharged by artificial intelligence—and the results are already being felt.
