One of biology's fundamental questions is how our genes shape who we are. Adrian Serohijos and Stephen Michnick, professors ...

Scientists have identified thousands of genetic differences that change a person's risk of disease, but working out how they ...

An international team of researchers has assembled one of the largest single-cell genetic atlases ever built, profiling more ...

In prokaryotic cells, transcription (DNA to mRNA) and translation (mRNA to protein) are so closely linked that translation ...

How readily a cell divides and how well it survives are fundamental to life, shaping everything from organ size to the body's ability to withstand disease. That combination, known as cell fitness, isn ...

Investigating context-specific genetic associations can lead to deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying human traits. With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature ...

New work by Columbia researchers has turned a textbook principle of genetics on its head and revealed why some people who carry disease-causing genes experience no symptoms. Every biology student ...

Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to ...

The initiative aims to take early diagnosis, genetic counselling, and specialised treatment to remote tribal pockets that ...

UCLA researchers grew brain cells from dozens of genetically distinct donors together in a cell village, then built a statistical tool called Townlet to measure each donor's cell fitness — how well ...
