In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...

This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...

The pelvis is often called the keystone of upright movement. It helps explain how human ancestors left life on all fours ...

Lurking in the vast expanse of the ocean and buried deep in the Siberian permafrost, there are giants—not blue whales and ...

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about ...

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

University of Arizona Ph.D. students gathered in the Sonett Space Sciences building on Dec. 8 to present their research and discuss other scientists’ research related to the study of astrobiology.

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

From morning glories spiraling up fence posts to grape vines corkscrewing through arbors, twisted growth is a problem-solving ...

A biologist explains the surprising evolutionary math behind how the blue whale became the largest animal that has ever lived ...

Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...

Some ants thrive by choosing numbers over strength. Instead of heavily protecting each worker, they invest fewer resources in ...
