Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...

Researchers cracked the complete genetic code of individual cells in healthy and diseased human lung tissues to find potential new molecular targets for diagnosing and treating the lethal lung disease ...

Scientists have completed sequencing the highly complex genome of the maize plant and say the accomplishment could herald a second "green revolution" in more productive and nutritious cereal crops.

The genetic code of a rare form of kidney cancer, called reninoma, has been studied for the first time. In the new paper, published today (25th September) in Nature Communications, researchers at the ...

Now, though, the genome is "anchored to a genetic map, ordering the traits like yield, plant height, resistance to drought and others," Wing said. "If you now have a trait for yield, you can go to the ...

A gene order map (created using GENESPACE) that compares genome assemblies among related plant species. The horizontal white lines represent chromosomes, and the colored braids that link them show ...

Using a molecular technique known as the comet assay, researchers tracked oxidative DNA damage and repair in seeds stored for 2, 5, and 12 years under cold dry genebank conditions. Their findings ...

A recently released large-scale study has provided details on the genetics that underpin epilepsy, arguably one of the most common and most complex conditions in the neurological spectrum. The work, ...

"First published in Great Britain in 2015 by Profile Books Ltd"--Title-page verso. The story of the discovery and cracking of the genetic code, the thing that ultimately enables a spiraling molecule ...

British scientists have decoded the genetic sequence of wheat _ one of the world's oldest and most important crops _ a development they hope could help the global staple meet the challenges of climate ...

Night owls get a bad rap. In modern culture, any night person—who also naturally needs at least eight hours of sleep to function well the next day—is likely to be looked down on as a slacker who lacks ...
