A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Through genome analysis, the scientists uncovered surprising insights into yerba mate’s evolutionary history – particularly ...

The early lineages of hexapods (broadly defined insects) have long been debated. Researchers at University of Tsukuba and ...

Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

The final draft of the 2019 Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in Science will be implemented for the 2024-25 school year. Having looked over this document, I was wondering what they presented as ...

Bird feeders change the backyard game in more ways than one, and now you can add curbing avian infidelity to the list. Here's ...

Postdoctoral scholar Daniela Soto has earned a prestigious fellowship from HHMI with eight years of funding to study the ...

The early lineages of hexapods (broadly defined insects) have long been debated. Researchers at University of Tsukuba and collaborators critically examined the newly proposed "Protura-sister" ...

Molecular dynamics is a method that uses Newton’s equations of motion to computationally simulate the time evolution of a set of interacting atoms. Such techniques are dependent on a description ...

A recent paper published in Science magazine by researcher Blanca Barquera, Ph.D., professor of biological sciences at ...

Evolution has been fine-tuning life at the molecular level for billions of years. Proteins, the fundamental building blocks of life, have evolved through this process to perform various biological ...
