Using a new technique, MIT researchers have shown that they can map genome interactions with 100 times higher resolution than has previously been possible.

The loss of function of two paralogous starch biosynthetic genes has been shown to contribute to an increase in resistant starch (RS) content in cooked rice, providing insights into the generation of high-RS varieties in rice and other cereals.

Researchers are closer to removing the rapeseed plant's bitter substances that make it unsuitable for human consumption, and in doing so, are paving the way for a new protein source to support the green transition.

RIKEN geneticists have uncovered a protein in fruit flies that many textbooks say doesn’t exist.

Researchers have developed a DNA enzyme that can distinguish between two RNA strands inside a cell and cut the disease-associated strand while leaving the healthy strand intact.

A new study has thrown light on how mutations to a gene called Foxp2 are linked to apraxia – a speech disorder – and our ability to produce speech.

Scientists have identified new genetic risk factors for two types of non-Alzheimer’s dementia. These findings detail how researchers identified large-scale DNA changes, known as structural variants, by analyzing thousands of DNA samples.

University of Florida scientists have used artificial intelligence tools to simplify a test that works for both hepatitis C and SARS-CoV-2.

Breakthroughs will enable exploration of Earth’s biochemical past, with hopes of discovering new therapeutic molecules.

Researchers showed that Amazonian dark earth (ADE), soils enriched by Amerindian people thousands of years ago, increases the establishment and growth of seedlings of tree species important for reforestation.
