“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who conducted the research while working in human genetics at the University of ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically imitate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

That could place the ancestors of Homo sapiens—modern humans—outside Africa, an idea which flips everything palaeontologists ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

For decades, autism has been described as a spectrum - an elastic term that stretches from nonverbal children to adults with ...

The research achievement was distributed as a press release through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). The NRF is an institution that manages government R&D projects and supports the ...

Tellurium nanowire transistors switch between boosting and suppressing their light response through voltage alone, enabling ...

From influencing weight gain to supporting immune function, gut microbes do far more than digest food. They may even explain ...
