Research into the gene expression regulation of a parasite could improve understanding of its ability to resist treatment.

Despite being distantly related and not sharing many genetic similarities, plant pathogenic and symbiotic fungi rely on a similar group of proteins for manipulating plants.

People with high microbial diversity in their gut microbiome may be better protected against aging-related diseases.

What determines whether older bees become foragers or soldiers is unknown, but a new study explores the genetic mechanisms underlying the collective behavior of colony defense, and how these mechanisms relate to the colony’s overall aggression.

In crisis, the nucleus calls antioxidant enzymes to the rescue. The nucleus being metabolically active is a profound paradigm shift with implications for cancer research.

Researchers have used a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease that replicates the silent period that occurs before symptoms become obvious.

New research finds that a warming climate could flip globally abundant microbial communities from carbon sinks to carbon emitters, potentially triggering climate change tipping points.

Overfishing of Atlantic cod in the second half of the 20th century forced the cod to evolve new traits, reports a new study, but proper management of fisheries could enable the population to recover.

Geneticists have unearthed a major event in the ancient history of sturgeons and paddlefish that has significant implications for the way we understand evolution.

The genetic variants that cause a rare and inflammatory skin condition have been identified, alongside a potential treatment.
