Researchers have used the gene cutting tool CRISPR to make cuts in DNA around lengthy tumor genes, which can be used to collect sequence information.

Researchers have looked into the microbiome of the Moscow Subway. Turns out that the bacterial world of the Russian capital's subway system might be similar to that of New York's public transportation.

Researchers have discovered a non-oxygen breathing animal, a finding which challenges one of science’s assumptions about the animal world.

Concordia researchers identify a shared list of health issues, from DNA damage to cognitive decline. The findings will help people better understand how obesity works and could help to stimulate ideas on how to treat it.

Marine biologists have adopted "soft robotic linguine fingers" as tools to conduct their undersea research.

A team of scientists suggest prolonged exposure to NRF2 and KEAP1 may contribute to enlargement of the liver and fatty liver diseases.

A new study of the genetic history of Sardinia, a Mediterranean island off the western coast of Italy, tells how genetic ancestry on the island was relatively stable through the end of the Bronze Age, even as mainland Europe saw new ancestries arrive

A missing or extra copy of a single chromosome creates an imbalance known as "aneuploidy". Now, researchers have discovered that not all aneuploidies spur cancer’s progression – some actually inhibit a cancer’s ability to metastasize.

Researchers studying ancient bacterial genomes have linked the Neolithic revolution to the emergence of new diseases.

The 'reproducibility crisis' has become a significant issue in modern science and one journal editor has penned an article suggesting that, for journals, a "no raw data, no science" approach to article approval may be required to avert further damage to the scientific method.
