An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has uncovered the molecular mechanisms governing the ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells communicate with one another during this process through cell-surface ...

Caenorhabditis elegans is a species of soil-dwelling nematode (roundworm) used as a model organism in molecular genetics and developmental biology. It is predominantly hermaphroditic (can self ...

Binary polymorphisms associated with the non-recombining region of the human Y chromosome (NRY) preserve the paternal genetic legacy of our species that has persisted to the present, permitting ...
