1+ hour, 17+ min ago   (597+ words) The genomes of true frogs have long puzzled geneticists. Amphibians are famous for carrying some of the largest and most repetitive genomes among vertebrates, and yet the detailed architecture of their repetitive DNA has remained poorly explored compared with mammals,…...

2+ hour, 3+ min ago   (95+ words) Every seed is a masterpiece of biological engineering, a compact package in which molecular order and cellular design are woven together to protect and nourish a future plant. For scientists trying to understand how crops such as the yellow pea…...

14+ hour, 54+ min ago   (168+ words) Google mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly, reconstructing more than 166,000 individual neurons. Google's fully mapped fruit fly brain is barely a week old, and it's already been put to work doing what…...

20+ hour, 13+ min ago   (879+ words) Scientists have unveiled a new computational framework that brings together two of the most powerful technologies in modern biology—single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics—to reconstruct how populations of cells redistribute and change state across time within living tissues....

1+ day, 2+ hour ago   (350+ words) Many diseases begin with changes that occur at the level of individual cells. Genetic mutations, altered signaling pathways, and abnormal responses to environmental factors can all contribute to disease development. Developing a new medicine involves extensive testing before a potential…...

22+ hour, 20+ min ago   (33+ words) In 2024 a large research collaboration published the first complete wiring diagram of an adult brain, not a human’s, but a fruit fly’s. The …...

2+ day, 19+ hour ago   (352+ words) Reveal long-distance genomic information and unique insights with on-flow cell library prep and cluster proximity information. DNA templates are collected from samples using conventional or high-molecular-weight methods and can be directly introduced onto the flow cell surface. Here, they are…...

1+ day, 23+ hour ago   (849+ words) Scientists have identified a previously unrecognized molecular pathway that protects aging blood vessel cells from the DNA damage that drives vascular decline, and the discovery could point toward new strategies for preventing age-related cardiovascular disease....

2+ day, 6+ hour ago   (645+ words) Daniel Isom, Ph.D., the study’s senior author, Sylvester researcher and associate professor of molecular and cellular pharmacology New research shows how artificial intelligence, combined with advanced experimental science, can help find “hidden” and unexplored proteins in the human body and…...

2+ day, 13+ hour ago   (479+ words) With the excitement of a new academic year, Saint Mary’s is pleased to welcome new professors to the Faculty of Science who bring research expertise in psychology, biology, earth science, environmental science, mathematics, and computing science. Read below to meet…...
