A single gene in the shorebird species known as ruffs controls the levels of testosterone in males, and this in turn affects ...

New research has revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex brain circuits independently, despite sharing a common ancestor. These findings challenge the traditional view of ...

The SYNGAP1 gene, which supports the production of a protein called SynGAP (Synaptic Ras GTPase-Activating Protein), is known ...

Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

Using genes borrowed from bacteria, researchers have demonstrated fish and flies can be engineered to break down methylmercury and remove it from their bodies as a less harmful gas, offering new ways ...

A CRISPR-based system that erases itself from fly populations may offer a safer approach to tackling insecticide resistance ...

Their lack of diversity could explain why they are slow to develop resistance to the squirrelpox virus. The post Study reveals why red squirrels are more vulnerable to disease appeared first on Talker ...

Autophagy is the process by which cells digest and renew their internal structures, recycling damaged or malfunctioning ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access information on a device and to provide personalised ads and content, ad and ...

In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define brain cell types across species. They trained deep learning models on human, ...

Through strategic investment and collaboration, African livestock systems can harness tools such as genomic technologies and ...

A study on bat genomes, involving Texas Tech University, discovered genetic adaptations that help bats resist viral ...
