What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

Postdoctoral scholar Daniela Soto has earned a prestigious fellowship from HHMI with eight years of funding to study the ...

Structural variants in the human genome include cytogenetically detectable and submicroscopic deletions, duplications, large-scale copy-number variants, inversions and translocations. The ability ...

A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite that causes malaria in humans, has been generated. The map contains the most ...

Not only is the banana slug the endearing mascot for UC Santa Cruz — making the project fitting for campus researchers — but ...

To do this, researchers used prime editing to insert a recognition sequence into the genomes of the human cell lines to target with recombinase—an enzyme that enabled the team to 'shuffle' the genome.

Researchers find a master epigenetic switch that activates silenced genes to compensate for their missing counterparts in a ...

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a new study. Overall ...
