A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

Most people are familiar with the idea of deep space, but scientists also study something called deep time. Advances in genetics now allow researchers ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

Compared with human-specific transcriptional factors, human-specific lncRNAs identified upon human lncRNAs’ orthologs in mammals have greatly evolved DNA-binding sites in archaic and modern humans in ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

A doctor who had a genetic condition that prevents teeth from forming searched for the DNA mutation that had affected his family for over 150 years.

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...
