What if the mechanical properties of a cell could be programmed like the components of a machine? Researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered that two fundamental modes of cellular ...

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have shown that a single injection of a small, circular piece of genetic instructions can ...

Silver nanoparticles provide a more efficient way to cut and assemble DNA, improving recovery rates and boosting DNA joining ...

For decades, the accepted explanation for the origins of the Japanese people was relatively straightforward. Modern Japanese populations were understood to descend from two major ancestral groups: the ...

Scientists analyzing the genomes of thousands of people across Japan discovered evidence for a previously overlooked third ancestral group, challenging the long-accepted “dual origins” theory. The ...

For years, scientists believed the origins of the Japanese population could be traced back mainly to two ancient groups. But a major new DNA study is now challenging that long-held belief and ...

These authors have equally contributed to this work. Bipolar disorder (BD) is a major mood disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While DNA methylation from peripheral tissues ...

On April 21, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that a husband can’t be required to provide maintenance if a DNA test proves he is not the father of the daughter. Therefore, the Supreme Court determined ...

Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries that use these technologies only focus on one organ or one small area of ...

Figure 1: RNA-seq data uses short reads of mRNA which is free of intronic non-coding DNA. These reads must then be aligned back to the reference genome. Credit: Technology Networks. Early RNA-seq ...
