DNA inversions – where a piece of DNA flips its orientation in the genome – are difficult to analyze, but new research has shown they are one of the most common mutational processes in humans.

A Phase one trial has been launched to test a new preventative vaccine for Epstein-Barr virus, one of the most common human viruses.

To generate more accurate predictions of disease risk, a research team has used data from more diverse populations to remove the current Eurocentric bias.

Spatially resolved transcriptomics studies have been used to examine the cellular dynamics of organisms during development, enabling the design of spatial atlases of life.

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 may temporarily boost the production of antibodies against other coronaviruses that cause a common cold.

Scientists have dug into the cephalopod genome to understand how these unusual animals came to be. Along the way, they discovered cephalopod genomes are as weird as the animals are.

One of the earlier symptoms of Parkinson's is vocal-related issues and a team has identified a Parkinson's-associated gene that may cause them, potentially enabling earlier diagnosis.

A new open-source software tool designed by a team at Scripps Research enables scientists to identify and quantify modified RNA molecules more easily than ever to speed up drug development.

Patterns of changes to the canine coronavirus spike protein may indicate how the virus is able to transmit from animals to humans.

Researchers have discovered that it is possible to identify individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes by measuring BMI in a new way.
