A Ph.D. student in biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has built a software program ...

Creating genomes from DNA is hugely important for managing threatened species—understanding their past and how they have ...

It’s unclear how many DEI-related words have been flagged on UT’s website since it started these audits last fall. KXAN was told we must file a public open records request to get that information.

However, this genome was far from complete, with many gaps. Now Colossal, which also aims to recreate the woolly mammoth, says it has largely completed this genome with the help of additional DNA ...

The key to growing coffee plants that can better resist climate change in the decades to come may lie in the ancient past. Researchers co-led by UB have created what they say is the highest-quality ...

The genome and population genomics of allopolyploid Coffea arabica reveal the diversification history of modern coffee cultivars. Nature Genetics, 2024; 56 (4): 721 DOI: 10.1038/s41588-024-01695-w ...

For example, which mutations in the human genome are even functional, in that they have a measurable effect on our behavior. The study offers a little more light too on Denisovans as a species.

To elaborate, from a mathematical point of view: A genome is a long string made up of “letters” from a four-letter alphabet (A, C, G and T). A “DNA word” is a sequence of such letters (for example, ...

We identified genome-wide significant association with word reading (rs11208009, P = 1.098 × 10 −8) at a locus that has not been associated with intelligence or educational attainment. All five ...
