Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent a complex interplay of genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations, and environmental factors. The initiation and progression of these cancers are influenced by ...

Viruses that infect bacteria can still do their job in microgravity, but space changes the rules of the fight.

The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...

The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low ...

Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...

The Ornamented Mutation is a special holiday-themed Mutation in Grow a Garden. This festive Mutation can only be obtained in very specific ways, and you'll need to harvest Ornamented crops in order to ...

This valuable study leverages a large global dataset of tens of thousands of tuberculosis samples to place recurrent protein-coding mutations into their three-dimensional structural context, offering ...

Your DNA is constantly changing. And if it weren’t for genetic mutations, evolution wouldn’t exist. So, what would life be like if that stopped? What causes your DNA to change? How would your life ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

Emerging research reveals that organisms may never fully catch up to their changing environments, opening new questions about how evolution really unfolds. Credit: Stock New research challenges the ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...
