Flax is a globally important crop valued for its fiber, industrial uses, and omega-3-rich oil, yet incomplete genomic information has long limited efforts to understand and improve its key traits.

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health. But evidence has ...

Scientists have recognized snails’ regenerative abilities for centuries. In 1766, a researcher documented that decapitated garden snails could regrow their entire heads. Despite that long history, ...

Cancer is no longer seen as a single genetic error but as a complex, multi-layered disease shaped by DNA mutations, epigenetic changes and even patterns in medical images. New research at ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect where the aortic valve has two leaflets (cusps) instead of ...

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

I didn't even know 'Dark Genomes' existed.

By late life, a surprising share of men have blood cells that no longer carry the Y chromosome at all, according to large genetic studies in cohorts such as the UK Biobank. That quiet genetic drift ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

After facing a delayed decision deadline and a clinical hold, Regenxbio’s Hunter syndrome gene therapy has been rejected by ...
