The single-celled organism smashed the previous record for heat tolerance of complex life by surviving in 158°F (70C) spring waters.
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.
An international research team analyzed genome data from 521 woolly mammoths across Eurasia and North America.
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.
Environmental DNA contained in a small sample of water, sand or even air can reveal the presence of people, wildlife and pathogens, helping researchers track where they’ve migrated.
Previous studies have shown that high fructose intake while pregnant raises the risk of gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and placental insufficiency.
Scientists pieced together the genetic history of Acinetobacter baumannii — a notoriously stubborn hospital pathogen — using samples dating back 50 years to the 1970s.
The study identified a "biological clock" which ticks in every cell of the body.
Scientists say it has the potential to extend lives by helping doctors identify patients whose disease is more likely to return.
