A longstanding question in evolutionary biology is how sexual selection influences how entire genomes develop. Sexual ...

Studies have suggested that genes under strong sexual selection tend to evolve rapidly, particularly those associated with ...

The authors have generated important resources such as a reference dataset of early primate development by utilizing single-cell transcriptomic technology together with induced pluripotent stem cells ...

In the paper published in Nature Communications, led by corresponding author Nagayasu Nakanishi, an associate professor of biological sciences at the U of A, researchers found that the gene ...

Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA plays a crucial role in tissue-specific gene regulation, with disease implications due to splicing defects. Predicting and manipulating AS can therefore uncover ...

Herpesvirus-encoded microRNAs (v-miRNAs) play a crucial role in modulating host cellular processes to promote viral persistence, immune evasion, and pathogenesis. These v-miRNAs function by targeting ...

Scientists dive into the genomes of whales, elephants, and other animal giants looking for new weapons in the fight against ...

Using a technique called CRISPR, James has edited a gene in ... and figure out a way to make sure we use it wisely. We are not currently equipped to do that, and we have no time to lose.” ...

The central area of the spinal cord was harvested seven days after injury for the systematic analysis of global gene expression by RNA Sequencing ... and for each test we recorded the time from ...

Researchers have developed 'tomoseqr' -- a new software tool that enables easy estimation of the three-dimensional (3D) spatial distribution of gene expression. Tomoseqr is free to use and has been ...
