From COVID-19 vaccines to Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine, using mRNA as medicine has shown promise. But before mRNA drugs can go beyond vaccines, researchers need to identify the right diseases to treat.
Researchers have never had a complete baseline for understanding the DNA of marmosets, a species of tree-dwelling monkey, until now.
By identifying the genes and molecules crucial to resistance in American chestnuts and other species, researchers hope to use genomic techniques to breed trees that can flourish in the face of blight.
Scientists pieced together the genetic history of Acinetobacter baumannii — a notoriously stubborn hospital pathogen — using samples dating back 50 years to the 1970s.
Scientists from Rutgers University found DNA and genes from mice have changed to adapt and survive even the strongest poisons available.
Cholesterol-related heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide.
Dutch researchers have identified a gene in long-lived families that may be responsible for their longevity being passed on.
The treatment, Elahere, is only approved for ovarian cancer.
