Ciliate protozoa exemplify an extraordinary interplay between genome architecture, developmental rearrangements and evolutionary innovation. These single-celled eukaryotes possess two distinct nuclei ...

A research team led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has revealed how the genome is reorganized in 3D during ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) research has become a major focus of global health and evolutionary bioinformatics. Despite ...

Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid complexity, diverge significantly from the classical genetic theories and ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...

The sequencing of the genomes of a spider from the mainland (Dysdera catalonica, left) and one from the Canary Islands (Dysdera tilosensis, right) opens a new perspective for understanding how genome ...

A vast stretch of islands across the South Pacific holds one of the oldest human stories on Earth. For tens of thousands of ...

A part of the brain called the pallium is responsible for many complex functions. In mammals, the pallium is thought to be where the neocortex forms, and gives rise to the cerebral cortex and ...

Deep within tropical forests, sloths move at a pace that seems almost frozen in time. Their slow movements, low energy use, and quiet lives have long puzzled scientists.

This workshop explored current and potential future applications for AI in genomics and precision health along the continuum from translational research to clinical applications. A planning committee ...
