Geography and sport teacher, Thomas Saunders, explains why farming should get more prominence in the school curriculum.

Columnist Michael Le Page delves into a catalogue of hundreds of potentially beneficial gene mutations and variants that is ...

The researchers took a “safety-first” approach. They deliberately excluded all viruses that infect humans or animals from the ...

Our genome isn’t as peaceful as it looks—some DNA elements are constantly trying to disrupt it. Scientists studying fruit ...

The tool helps scientists understand how single-letter mutations and distant DNA regions influence gene activity, shaping ...

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

About 55% of the human lifespan is heritable, meaning that more than half of the observed variation in longevity across a ...

Euan Ashley's lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny "typos," or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health ...

Hackathons using AlphaGenome and other AI models are hunting down the genetic causes of devastating conditions that have ...

The dictionary of life has a new update. A DNA sequence that signals cells in almost all other organisms to stop synthesising proteins instead encodes a rare amino acid in some archaea, according to a ...

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely ...
