A new study by University of Alberta scientists has helped to classify ~600 fungi that, previously, lacked a place among the fungi family tree.

Researchers have identified the bacteria most commonly found in severe oral infections.

Artificial intelligence has helped researchers to design synthetic DNA that can control cells' protein production, which could contibute to vaccine and drug development.

The finding that the head and brain of Cardiodictyon catenulum, a wormlike animal, show no segmentation may solve a long and heated debate about the origin and composition of the head in arthropods.

The rapid fine-tuning of regions of the genome associated with brain development, digestion and immunity after our family line split from chimpanzees likely produced uniquely human traits.

Some flowers can create microscopic 3D patterns on the surface of their petals, which reflect light to form iridescent optical effects that attract bees. Researchers have investigated how these structures are formed.

University of Galway researchers discover biomarkers that may help in determining tailored cancer treatment.

A new animal study points to a gene that is important for the earliest development of basic social behaviors. The work also suggests that exposure to certain drugs and environmental risk factors during embryonic development can cause changes to this gene, leading to alterations in social behavior that are similar to those found in individuals who have autism.

A recent study from Weill Cornell Medicine has indicated that a new approach that targets a protein that coordinates gene expression could help treat mantle cell lymphoma.

A small molecule has been designed that can pass through the blood–brain barrier and bind to disease-causing RNA, which causes it to be degraded. Researchers propose it could be used to treat ALS and genetic causes of dementia.
