Commonly called the "corpse flower," Amorphophallus titanum is endangered for many reasons, including habitat destruction, climate change and encroachment from invasive species.
In a new paper published in the journal Trends in Genetics researchers from the University of Vermont and Trinity College Dublin propose an innovative analogy between AI models and genetic encoding to help us understand how ...
An international team led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, has sequenced the first ancient genomes from the so-called Green Sahara, a period when the largest ...
New technologies today often involve electronic devices that are smaller and smarter than before. During the Middle Paleolithic, when Neanderthals were modern humans' neighbors, new technologies meant something quite different: ...
University College London, the University of Central Lancashire, Ege University, and other institutions have discovered that radical inequality existed in burial practices among teenagers in Early Bronze Age Anatolia, predating ...
You may have heard of the fantastic-sounding "dark side of the genome." This poorly studied fraction of DNA, known as heterochromatin, makes up around half of your genetic material, and scientists are now starting to unravel ...
In living organisms, every protein—a type of biological polymer consisting of hundreds of amino acids—carries out specific functions, such as catalysis, molecule transport, or DNA repair. To perform these functions, they ...
University of Michigan researchers have developed a statistical method that can be used for such wide-ranging applications as tracing your ancestry, modeling disease spread and studying how animals spread through geographic ...
Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living cells, are attractive as foundations for biosensors. Moreover, by encapsulating them in lipid bilayer ...
Marek's disease can be pervasive in chicken houses. Chickens infected by this highly contagious viral disease often develop tumors, become paralyzed and die. They can shed the virus through their skin, enabling it to linger ...
