Research led by the University of Washington reports on an AI-guided method that designs epitope-specific antibodies and confirms atomically precise binding using high-resolution molecular imaging, then strengthens those ...
Scientists have taken an unprecedented look at marine fish species living in the world's oceans by studying traces of genetic material in seawater. One of the most surprising results was discovering species in places where ...
Université de Strasbourg and partners report that adding structural variants and small insertion–deletion mutations to single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses raised trait heritability estimates by 14.3% and uncovered broader ...
Hippos from Central Europe were assumed to have gone extinct around 115,000 years ago when the temperate conditions of the region transitioned into an icy one with the end of the last interglacial period and the beginning ...
Humans have about 400 odorant receptors (ORs), but scientists have had trouble finding ligands that match up with most of these ORs in lab settings—leaving them with a murky understanding of how certain smells are recognized ...
Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret to their extreme longevity? ...
Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ERVs) that infected our ...
What is the secret of supercentenarians? While there is no magical "elixir of life" that allows us to live forever, this incredibly rare group of people who live to be 110 years or older appears to have some biological advantage. ...
After the advent of antibiotics in the 1940s, scientists were certain that they were on the cusp of conquering infectious diseases, their confidence bolstered by the notion that a comprehensive knowledge of bacterial pathogens ...
When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things—including a crucial event that happened while she was still growing inside her own mother's womb. It depends on the quality of the egg cells ...
