A new comparison and analysis of the genomes of species in the genus Malus, which includes the domesticated apple and its wild relatives, revealed the evolutionary relationships among the species and ...

In 1979, famed molecular biologist, Francis Crick, stated that it would be “[impossible] to create an exact wiring diagram ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're ...

Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to know.

What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific achievement once ...

In this case, the team spelled out the entire human genome using the four letters that ... The crystal also includes small visual diagrams of nucleotide structures, DNA's double-helix shape ...

(The key along the bottom of the diagram tells you how each human chromosome has been coded.) Then, in the top part of the figure, each synteny with chromosome 15 in the Tetraodon genome has also ...

How did it become possible to sequence the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome? More than a quarter of a century’s worth of work from hundreds of scientists made such projects possible.
