Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform—from bacteria to blue whales—shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific controversy.

Sequencing diverse populations revealed over 41,000 transcripts missing in Eurocentric references, exposing ancestry bias ...

Humans are far more monogamous than our primate cousins, but less so than beavers, a new study suggests. Researchers from the University of Cambridge in England analyzed the proportion of full ...

An evolutionary "trap" has haunted crested and marbled newts for 25 million years: Leiden researchers have uncovered a mysterious DNA error that should not be able to arise—yet persists all the same.

Biology voices weigh in on the impact of AI on drug discovery from the largest NeurIPS research conference to date.

Humans are far closer to meerkats and beavers for levels of exclusive mating than we are to most of our primate cousins, ...
