A new bacterial strain replaced older strains during the seventh cholera pandemic, which is still ongoing, and may explain its emergence and success.

The action mechanism of a critical drug combatting schistosomiasis has been revealed in two independent papers.

Researchers have discovered that gene variants associated with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease disturb the brain's natural protective mechanism against the disease.

A study of pregnant women’s blood RNA has found specific molecular profiles that identify women at risk of pre-eclampsia. These insights can identify complications before a woman experiences symptoms.

Researchers have developed a CRISPR-based assay that can sensitively and non-invasively detect a biomarker of acute kidney transplant rejection in urine.

How does the cell know to turn off one chromosome at a given time – but only if there are two of them? A research team found the answer to this decades-old puzzle in mouse stem cells.

A new study lends further support to the emerging notion that bacteria also employ genetic silencing to protect themselves from harmful mutations.

Researchers at Gladstone Institutes have fine-tuned an additional system for more efficient gene editing, using molecules called retrons.

Contrary to previous observations in Italy, scientists, with the help of high-throughput sequencing technology, observed an explosive propagation of Grapevine Pinot gris virus in Southern France.

According to a phase I clinical trial, a folic acid-like drug changed a DNA process within the brain tumors of people with recurrent glioblastoma when administered alongside the standard therapy.
