Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular ...

Mo Khalil is the Hok Lam and Kathleen Kam Wong Professor of Bioengineering and Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology at ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

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

This comprehensive e-book from The Hindu explores how gene editing tools like CRISPR and synthetic biology are fundamentally changing what it means to be human and are giving us the power to modify ...

Duke’s department of biology recently decided to press pause on one of its gateway courses, Biology 203, Molecular Biology, Genetics and Evolution, reportedly due to negative student feedback on the ...

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 ...

Obesity is not a single disease. New research shows distinct biological phenotypes that explain why weight gain and treatment ...

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 ...
