Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

A breakthrough in genetics reveals how spines first appeared, changing what we know about the evolution of complex species.

Researchers uncovered 214,516 unique isoforms in the developing neocortex -- over 70% of which have not been previously studied. A team led by researchers at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania ...

Researchers identify two distinct gene transcripts of a single gene that could regulate color patterns in Saintpaulia flowers The researchers hypothesized that the white-striped petal pattern was due ...

Scientists have developed some incredibly advanced ways to actually visualize gene activity in tissues. A sample of tissue can be processed to analyze the genetic material inside, and researchers can ...

A random mutation in a gene can alter its function and bring about a new characteristic that can pass down for many generations, but this may not be the only way that organisms can inherit a trait.

How does alcohol change your brain at a genetic level? A new study reveals that alcohol metabolites directly alter epigenetic ...
