Researchers comparing the human genome with the genomes of other species have discovered a surprising number of matching DNA sequences in a variety of vertebrate species, including the mouse, rat, dog ...

An effort to protect 30 percent of land and waters would count some commercial fishing zones as conserved areas. By Catrin Einhorn New details of the Biden administration’s signature conservation ...

A vaccine developed against one strain of a virus is a remarkable achievement. But a “universal vaccine” that could protect from all forms of that pathogen is the holy grail. For decades, researchers ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers engineered epitope scaffolds (ESs) of conserved regions of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike ...

A ground-breaking study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution – a discovery that could pave the way for more ...

The hypothalamus is a small but critical region at the base of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, regulates body temperature, signals hunger and thirst, exerts hormonal control over ...
