Researchers used the gene editing technology to create melons with a shelf-life 14 days longer than that obtained previously. Such a technology might reduce food loss and waste and contribute to the sustainability of the global food system.

Researchers have solved one key piece of the molecular puzzle needed to dramatically improve plant productivity and increase carbon sequestration: They have successfully transferred key regions of a highly efficient red algae into a tobacco plant.

Researchers discovered less than 31% of people have the unique makeup to make the most of training.

Research findings may contribute to advancing our understanding of homologous recombination in meiosis, a crucial biological phenomenon in eukaryotic reproduction.

Researchers have found that mutations in the Pro1 protein cause female sterility of the rice blast fungus coupled with increased release of asexual spores, which could provide the fungus with a fitness advantage.

In a new study, University of Utah Health researchers have shown that a particular version of a gene may contribute to the higher severity of stroke seen among Black Americans.

Examining messenger RNAs involved in the production of insulin in fruit flies, they found that a chemical tag on the mRNA is crucial to translating the insulin mRNA into the protein insulin.

Research findings provide a clearer picture of the progressive steps that eventually lead to cancer, and could pave the way for earlier detection of the disease.

A gene with no identifiable homologous sequences in other lineages has been linked to unique features and functions of the seahorse brood pouch.

In one of the first large-scale studies of genes related to diet, researchers have uncovered almost 500 genes that appear to influence the foods we eat directly, an important step toward precision nutrition strategies for improve health.
