The interdisciplinary, research-oriented Molecular & Cell Biology & Genetics program offers both MS and PhD degrees. The program provides a broad education-training program for graduate students ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

This may be about as wildly entertaining, disruptive and philosophically profound as legitimate scientific research gets. Michael Levin's work in cellular intelligence, bioelectrical communication and ...

Most human genetic studies have been conducted in European populations, and the results often do not transfer well to other populations. This gap in research, particularly on the genetic basis of ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

Human biology is the study of all aspects of the human organism including evolution, genetics, ecology, anatomy and physiology, development, anthropology, and nutrition, among others. A deep ...

The research team led by Professor Jongmin Kim from the Department of Life Sciences at POSTECH, along with graduate students Hyunseop Goh and Seungdo Choi, has successfully developed the 'Synthetic ...

The wholly synthetic mRNA vaccines for Covid-19 saved nearly 20 million lives in just their first year of use, according to data published in 2022 by The Lancet. That success stands as the most ...

The results of the world's largest ever gene study have been published, revealing almost all the genetic variants that influence a person's height. The study involved analyzing DNA from more than five ...
