A genomic analysis shows that transcription start sites are 35% more mutation-prone than expected, making them one of the ...

The genomes of monkeys, bats, whales and many other mammals are helping scientists tackle big questions about physiology, evolution and one very famous sled dog. An African savanna elephant, an Amazon ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little ...

The 20 th century was dubbed ‘the century of the gene’. You could say it started with the coining of the word ‘gene’ in 1903. Fifty years later, James Watson and Francis Crick used Rosalind Franklin’s ...
