An international research team led by Hiroki Shibuya at RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has ...

Clusters of genes found in humans match those that hibernating animals like mice use to power down during lean times, a new study has found. Because those genes are correlated with the parts of the ...

WASHINGTON — By comparing the genetic blueprints of an array of animals, scientists are gaining new insights into our own species and all we share with other creatures. One of the most striking ...

A new study shows that giving mice the human version of a gene changes their squeak, suggesting some of the genetic underpinnings of language. People like to talk. We're unique in the animal kingdom ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - A new study that examined animal species with a cancer resistance gene could provide help for human cancer research. Scientists have long been intrigued by Peto’s Paradox, which ...

For over a thousand years, the story of human evolution was simple: Homo sapiens developed in Africa between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago from a single line of forebears. But today, one research has ...

Myotonic dystrophy is thought to be caused by the binding of a protein called Mbnl1 to abnormal RNA repeats. In these two images of the same muscle precursor cell, the top image shows the location of ...

Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been linked to social behavior in humans, Ian Traniello at the University of ...
