A research team has identified a peptide and its receptor that help lateral roots to grow with the right spacing.

Researchers have mapped the genomes and epigenomes of genetically modified plant lines with the highest resolution ever to reveal exactly what happens at a molecular level when a piece of foreign DNA is inserted.

A team at Tokyo Medical and Dental University has revealed the molecule to cancer development, showing that its absence leads to dysregulation of the cell cycle, albeit with differing cancer-related outcomes.

In discovering a mutant gene that "turns on" another gene responsible for the red pigments sometimes seen in corn, researchers solved an almost six-decades-old mystery with a finding that may have implications for plant breeding in the future.

Researchers have added to evidence that rapid resistance gene sequencing technology can accurately speed the identification of specific antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains that sicken and kill some patients.

Scientists have generated the world's first genetically enhanced human vascular cells by targeting a single longevity gene, FOXO3.

The people who hold the most extreme views opposing genetically modified foods think they know most about GMO food science, but actually know the least.

In research that could lead to better bioinsecticides to protect forests and orchards, scientists have sequenced the genomes of the European gypsy moth (GM) and its even more destructive cousin, the Asian gypsy moth (AGM).

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time what effect female fruit flies having multiple partners has on sexual selection - before and after mating.

Researchers have discovered the interaction between an Ebola virus protein and a protein in human cells that may be an important key to unlocking the pathway of replication of the killer disease in human hosts.
