Scientists show that 'genome shock' is responsible for neutralizing hybrid lethality, when seedlings die after two species of plant hybridize.

Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This blueprint is known as a genome. When scientists sequence a genome, they identify ...

Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain, and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

Single-cell analysis reveals the extent of genome doubling in ovarian cancer, its variability and its role in enabling tumours to evade the immune system. Read the paper: Ongoing genome doubling ...

A Florida state legislator sponsored the nation's first state-backed genetic screening program after his son died from a rare genetic disease.

To identify possible burn-injury response genes, researchers examined the transcriptomes (the genes expressed) in both burnt and unburnt skin from humans and rats. Examining the gene sequences, they ...
