Breeders use genetic markers to bring desirable traits from wild species into their cultivated cousins. Transferring those markers across species has been difficult at best, but a team of grapevine breeders, geneticists and bioinformatic specialists […]

A new study by a team of neuroscientists at NYU shows experiences early in life have an impact on the brain’s biological and functional development. Its findings, which centered on changes in mice and rats, […]

A process developed by MIT engineers may be the key to manufacturing flexible electronics with multiple functionalities in a cost-effective way. The process is called  “remote epitaxy” and involves growing thin films of semiconducting material […]

A team led by researchers from Princeton has opened the door to a new understanding of the disease’s genetic origins, the discovery involves areas of DNA that do not directly code for the proteins that […]

 Researchers at the New York Genome Center and New York University have developed a new kind of CRISPR screen technology to target Ribonucleic acid (RNA). The findings led them to identify a critical “seed” region […]

Quanta Magazine is expanding its illumination of fundamental math and science with a new podcast titled “The Joy of x.” Hosted by mathematician Steven Strogatz, the new series features intimate conversations with scientists about their […]

It’s only been in the last 30,000 years, the mere blink of an evolutionary eye, that modern humans have occupied the planet as the sole representative of the hominin lineage. However, we carry evidence of […]
