Researchers found that, in mice, how much they ate and when altered the nature of their gut microbiome: too much food too frequently resulted in poorer microbial and metabolic health.

Screening sperm before in vitro fertilization could help to identify harmful mutations that could be passed to the offspring, potentially improving fertility treatment outcomes.

Phylogenomics has shown that as mammals evolved, the lice that feed on them evolved at a similar pace, resulting in family trees with parallel branches and twigs.

Medical and life science researchers will benefit from the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic data on zebrafish, newly published research suggests.

Hox genes are responsible for ensuring cells learn and remember their location in the body, and new synthetic DNA technology has enabled researchers to create artificial versions to understand how they work.

A coral pathogen that causes stony coral tissue loss disease eliminates other bacteria associated with coral by inducing prophage in the native microbiota.

In a new study, scientists use gene expression patterns, called transcriptomics, to investigate the ancient origins of the placenta.

Using cutting-edge sequencing technology and powerful computational analysis, scientists have revealed that the two phyla, Kamptozoa and Bryozoa, split from mollusks and worms earlier than previous studies have suggested, and thus they indeed form a distinct group.

Single-cell technologies have uncovered differences in colon cancer cells that could be used to update the classification system for the disease.

Using artificial intelligence, UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a new family of sensing genes in enteric bacteria that are linked by structure and probably function, but not genetic sequence.
