A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

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 by researchers at ...

Cephalopods may have the oldest sex chromosomes of any animal, according to a new discovery in the octopus genome. That's a big deal given that scientists didn't know until now if these oddball ...

This chromosome has likely been around for 480 million years, since before octopuses split apart from the nautilus on the evolutionary tree. That makes it one of the oldest known animal sex ...

Base, megabase A base is a single nucleotide in DNA (A, C, T, or G). A megabase is 1 million bases Chromosome maps (eg, 22q11) Human chromosomes have long arms (referred to as p) and short arms (q ...

What is the biggest animal in the world? It is worth noting that the largest living animals in the world today aren’t land animals, because on land they must struggle against the forces of gravity to ...

Humans have been constructing animal statues for thousands of years. It is a way for us to convey our deep bond with the animal kingdom and the debt of gratitude that we owe to our fellow creatures.

Quantification and characterization of these multiple HML-2 insertions in the human chromosome has been challenging due to their size, sequence homology with each other, and their repetitive nature.

Mice that only possessed active maternal X chromosomes exhibited more rapid declines in memory and learning as they aged. The hippocampus—a brain region crucial for memory and learning—was ...
