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 ...

Analyzing stochastic cell-to-cell variability can potentially reveal causal interactions in gene regulatory networks.

Tiny genetic variations between humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans might not be all they were cracked up to be.

Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only ...
