Soil bacteria make cocktails of molecules that synergistically inhibit the growth of microbial pathogens — suggesting a ...

A massive South Asian genomic study shows that people missing certain genes function perfectly, upending reliance on flawed mouse models.

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered what they describe as a "megacluster" of genes in Streptomyces bacteria ...

In a rapidly changing climate landscape, the plants we rely on for food, textiles and more face a multitude of challenges, ...

Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...

Schizophrenia is more complicated than ever imagined. Advanced gene network analysis reveals how distant genetic variants work together to influence brain function and mental health. Scientists have ...

The genetic roots of a disease or disorder do not always grow into clear-cut, easily diagnosed clinical features. Even if a parent and child have the same genetic marker implicated in an outcome, such ...

For millennia, evolution has intrigued many great thinkers, prompting questions about how new traits emerge as species adapt over time. Then, attention shifted to natural selection and the inheritance ...

Is there really such a thing as human nature? The answer lies between two old extremes, and getting it right shapes how we face AI, authoritarianism, and climate.

The findings converge on pathways involved in glutamate signaling, neuronal communication, immune processes, and neurodevelopment.
