Artificial intelligence finds disease-related genes An artificial neural network can reveal patterns in huge amounts of gene expression data and discover groups of disease-related genes. This has been shown by a new study led by […]
This bizarre virus has genes never seen before in any life-form Almost everything about this virus is unique. Our planet is teeming with mysterious microbes. Now, in the waters of an artificial lake, scientists may […]
We found the genes that allowed plants to colonize land 500 million years ago The world 500 million years ago looked very different to today. The land was bare, with only bacteria, fungi and algae […]
Study reveals a role for jumping genes during times of stress Only percent of human DNA codes for proteins, and approximately half of the rest of the genome is made up of what used to […]
Self-restrained genes enable evolutionary novelty Changes in the genes that control development can potentially make large contributions to evolution by generating new morphologies in plants and animals. However, because developmental genes frequently influence many different […]
These Genes Come To Life After You Die What happens after we die? This is a question that plagues a lot of people. After all, “we really know nothing about what happens when [we] die,” […]
