As antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" make infections trickier to treat, some in the medical community are turning to ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

SOAR aggregates data across 441 spatial transcriptomics datasets from 19 different spatial transcriptomics companies, allowing researchers to see detailed maps of gene activity across 3,461 tissue ...

High levels of inherited variation are observed for most traits and in most populations. Variation is maintained partly by mutation and partly by a balance of selective forces; however, we do not ...

A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the ...

Up to half of patients with Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel disease, develop a complication called fibrosis, where the ...

A study in Nature Genetics uses organotypic gut models to reveal genome-wide genetic determinants of Shigella colonization, spotlighting type III secretion system effectors as crucial for early ...

To study the mutually exclusive expression of odorant receptor (OR) genes, we generated transgenic mice that carried the murine OR gene MOR28. Expression of the transgene and the endogenous MOR28 ...

In a typical undergraduate biochemistry course, two main educational objectives include (1) understanding and applying how genetic mutations can influence protein structure and function, and (2) ...
