The identity of the skeletal remains of a member of the 1845 Franklin expedition has been confirmed using DNA and genealogical analyses by a team of researchers from the University of Waterloo, Lakehead University, and Trent University.

Researchers have discovered non-coding RNAs involved in regulating the gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factors, the master regulators of angiogenesis.

A new study published in Current Biology suggests that sharks, much like sea turtles, sense the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate around the ocean.

Researchers have studied a genetic mutation that is a likely cause of autism spectrum disorder in girls. Female, but not male mice lacking a working copy of the gene showed ASD-associated symptoms.

A new assembly of the bonobo genome has been constructed with a multiplatform approach and without relying on reference genomes.

Researchers have discovered a genetic mutation that prevents the production of B cells, named PU.1 Mutated agammaglobulinemia (PU.MA).

The 2021 Gruber Neuroscience Prize has been awarded to neuroscientists Christine Petit of the Institut Pasteur and Christopher A. Walsh of Harvard Medical School, for their groundbreaking work in revealing the genetic and molecular mechanisms behind the development of inherited neurodevelopmental disorders.

Researchers have identified a set of genes, called clock genes, that control circadian rhythms, the natural process that governs sleep and waking patterns in humans, animals, and plants.

Scientists have shown that elite controllers, a rare subset of people whose immune system can control HIV without the use of drugs, have myeloid dendritic cells, part of the innate immune response, that display traits of a trained innate immune cell.

Researchers have developed a new technology to overcome the inefficiencies and high error rates common among next-generation sequencing techniques that have previously limited their clinical application.
