New Sequencing Method Maps RNA Isoforms Across Brain Cells With Single-Cell
13+ hour, 47+ min ago (529+ words) Every cell in the brain carries essentially the same genome, yet the same gene can produce a startling variety of RNA molecules. Through a process called alternative splicing, segments of a gene’s transcript can be included, skipped, or rearranged, generating…...
Springer Nature Honors Standout Editors With 2026 Awards
15+ hour, 36+ min ago (662+ words) Springer Nature has opened the nomination and selection process for its Editor of Distinction Awards 2026, an annual program designed to recognize the editors whose behind-the-scenes judgment keeps the scientific record trustworthy....
BenchHub Turns Computational Biology Benchmarking Into a Living,
16+ hour, 33+ min ago (618+ words) Every day, computational biologists release new methods for analyzing genomes, single cells, microbiomes and molecular signatures, and every day researchers struggle with the same question: which method actually works best for their data? The answer usually depends on benchmarks—structured…...
AI Graph Tool scFormer Uncovers Rare Cell States Hidden in Single-Cell and
18+ hour, 30+ min ago (75+ words) Rare cells punch far above their weight in biology. Populations that make up less than one percent of a tissue can drive tumor progression, immune evasion, drug resistance, and relapse, while others mark the first steps of lineage commitment or…...
Machine Learning Meets X-Rays to Reveal the Hidden Architecture of Pea
18+ hour, 44+ 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…...
Scientists Combine Genome and Gene Expression Data to Pinpoint Genes That
19+ hour, 20+ min ago (580+ words) Plant height may seem like a simple trait, but in soybean it sits at the heart of one of agriculture’s most consequential trade-offs. Tall plants can shade weeds and capture light, yet they topple in wind and rain, complicate harvest,…...
Collagen Switch Turns Fish Fins Into Limb-Like Structures
19+ hour, 34+ min ago (83+ words) When the first fish lineage crawled onto land some 375 million years ago, its fins had to be remodeled into limbs capable of bearing weight. Evolutionary biologists have long focused on the genes that pattern the skeleton—Hox clusters, Sonic hedgehog,…...
DartUniFrac Brings Megascale Computing to Microbiome Diversity Analysis
20+ hour, 23+ min ago (512+ words) Researchers have introduced DartUniFrac, a new software tool designed to carry out UniFrac-based microbiome comparisons at a scale that was previously impractical....
New Rust Toolkit Supercharges Sex Determination Studies in Non-Model
20+ hour, 43+ min ago (628+ words) A new open-source software package promises to transform how biologists hunt for the genetic switches that separate males from females in species with no reference genome....
SIRT1 Silences Jumping Genes by Stabilizing Heterochromatin Complexes
21+ hour, 14+ min ago (55+ words) Deep within the human genome lies an ancient threat. Long interspersed elements-1, known as LINE-1 or L1, are the only autonomous transposable elements still active in our DNA, making up roughly 17 percent of the genome. When these genetic parasites leap to…...
