In a new study, scientists have discovered a third "short sleep" gene. It is the first gene to be identified that prevents the memory deficits typically associated with sleep deprivation.

Scientists have developed a line of mice in which the mouse version of the Alzheimer's-associated MAPT gene has been fully replaced by the human version of the gene.

Scientists have assembled a set of genetic sequences that enable the reference genome to better reflect global genetic diversity.

Two million years of eating meat and cooked food may have helped humans shift further from other great apes on the evolutionary tree. The evidence is in our saliva.

Scientists have published the first genome of the invasive Spotted Lanternfly from a single caught-in-the-wild specimen.

The "breakdown" of the normal 3D shape of DNA enables harmful interactions to form between genes in a rare type of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Researchers have discovered that so-called “jumping genes” appear to be behind rare developmental disorders in some children.

In a new study, researchers have tested the binding specificity of commercial antibodies to the C9ORF72 protein, and explored a novel validation approach.

New research describes how the addition of chemical tags to DNA over time could be used to screen for developmental differences and health problems in children.

Researchers have discovered two drugs that work together to disrupt cancer cells’ ability to survive.
