Smaller genomes enable plants and animals to grow much more quickly and efficiently, so why do some species have much larger ...

Viruses are lean, mean, infection machines. Their genomes are tiny, limited to a handful of absolutely essential genes, and ...

In a recent paper published in the journal Genome Research, experts described the chromatin arrangement in the genomes of two ...

A study described the three-dimensional architecture of turtle genomes, which fold in a configuration unlike any other animal observed so far.

Rather than training the algorithm on content scraped from the internet, scientists trained the AI on nearly three million ...

Add turtles to the list, thanks to a research team Valenzuela helped lead. In a recent paper in Genome Research, the ...

Viruses are lean, mean, infection machines. Their genomes are tiny, usually limited to a handful of absolutely essential genes, and they shed extra genomic deadweight extremely fast.

There are some seriously strange lifeforms lurking in the depths of our oceans – ghost sharks and upside-down isopods, anyone ...

The Human Genome Project has been finished—why is it important to look at the genomes of other species? Species inventory projects can reveal insights into biodiversity and utility for humans.

And what more can be learned by comparing the genomes of these two vastly different organisms? It turns out that a comparison of the human and pufferfish genetic sequences holds several clues as ...
