Genetic diversity is essential to the survival of a species. It's easy enough to maintain if a species reproduces sexually; an egg and a sperm combine genetic material from two creatures into one, ...

Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active field agent within cells. This research by a team led by Professor Jongmin ...

Yeast’s emergence as a model organism reshaped scientific discovery in cell biology, genetics, and more.

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz’s Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has yielded a new discovery: The proper transfer of genetic materials depends on ...

A new analysis has revealed detailed information about genetic variation in brain cells that could open new avenues for the targeted treatment of diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease ...

Male infertility arises from complex interactions between genetic anomalies and molecular pathways that govern spermatogenesis and testicular function. Central to these mechanisms are defects in germ ...
