A new study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and collaborators, suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could significantly ...

Emily Kramer-Golinkoff can’t get enough oxygen with each breath. Advanced cystic fibrosis makes even simple things like walking or showering arduous and exhausting. She has the most common fatal ...

The established conservation practice of relocating animals from large, genetically diverse populations to small communities of inbred endangered species may risk introducing more damaging than ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species. Researchers analyzed whole genomes from hundreds of koalas, finding that ...

Lindsey Hudson began to suspect her sleep habits weren’t the norm during her freshman year at Southern Nazarene University in Oklahoma. A competitive high school cheerleader, teenage Lindsey—busy with ...

Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal's traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape and health. But sometimes, these genes mutate. And while the word itself ...
