The team headed to Harvard University’s Peabody Museum in Cambridge, where they were granted permission to collect the yeast ...

An analysis of the genomes of nearly 6,000 Greenlandic people suggests that their Inuit ancestors rarely moved around after ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

Due to proteostasis stress induced by aging or disease, misfolded proteins can form toxic intermediate species of aggregates and eventually mature into less toxic inclusion bodies (IBs). Here, using a ...

Aneuploidy is frequent in cancer, but in vitro it triggers multiple cellular stresses and often delays proliferation. Through ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

For years, Augusti Ntivuguruzwa struggled to perfect his banana wine in Rwanda. As for many traditional wine-makers in the country, each batch brought uncertainty about whether regulators would ...

The resulting book, “Thinking Like an Island,” brings together stark portraits and landscape shots that speak to a profound sense of isolation. Alicudi might have been populated as early as ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics have unveiled a groundbreaking map of human DNA mixing during reproduction, offering insights into genetic diversity, health, and fertility. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

Working with baker's yeast that initially contained none ... and accumulation directly into the genome—the complete set of DNA—of baker's yeast. Their experiments mark the first time CRISPR ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...
