Researchers are still unsure how genes create shared facial features. Genetics play a significant role, but environmental factors matter too. One child may look like one parent, and their sibling may ...

In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick published the molecular structure of the biological hereditary material deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) whose famous double-helical structure is now imprinted in the ...

The genetic code, a universal blueprint for life, governs how DNA and RNA sequences translate into proteins. While its complexity has inspired generations of scientists, its origins remain a topic of ...

London - The entire genetic code for the crop that feeds half the planet has been unravelled by the European agribusiness giant… London - The entire genetic code for the crop that feeds half the ...

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease. This breakthrough, detailed in a new ...

The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...

When University of Galway academic Katarzyna Whysall gave birth to her daughter Niamh in July 2020, she knew almost instantly that something was amiss. “She had seizures within the first two days of ...

A new study published in the journal Cerebral Cortex provides evidence that differences in general intelligence may be partly explained by the density of neurites within certain brain connections, and ...
