To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology ...

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.

About 30 children aged 3 to 12 years old and their parents are participating in a new program that uses DNA testing to identify genetic gifts and predict the future. When Director Zhao Mingyou first ...

Shared genes found in golden retrievers and people influence traits like fear, trainability, and emotional sensitivity.

Abstract: Context: Programming education keeps facing chal-lenges. A significant challenge is the mismatch between the increasing student demand and the shortage of teaching workforce on personal ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...
