Few fields are evolving as quickly as the field of genetics. Emily Wyatt found her calling in genetics while working in Miami University’s Killian Neurobiology Lab, where she studies a protein that is ...

A recently released large-scale study has provided details on the genetics that underpin epilepsy, arguably one of the most common and most complex conditions in the neurological spectrum. The work, ...

Bananas are a staple for millions, yet their production is threatened by limited genetic diversity and breeding challenges. In a major advance, researchers analyzed over 2,700 triploid banana hybrids ...

Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...

California produces 99% of the nation’s pistachios, generating nearly $3 billion in economic value in the state. But pistachios have been slightly understudied in part because of the lack of a ...

(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated April 28, 2025) India's largest-ever genomic study has identified genetic variants unique to the country, marking a crucial ...

Cell function is significantly influenced by a process called ubiquitination, in which molecules are selected for elimination in the cell, when a ubiquitin tag is added to those molecules. Enzymes ...

CHICAGO — Scientists announced Thursday that they have cracked the genetic code of all known species of the common cold virus, a major step in finally developing a cure — perhaps even a vaccine — for ...
