From southbound cane toads to invasive weeds and fluctuating fish stocks, a novel technique called eDNA has revealed what's in NSW waterways—and how it's influenced by natural disasters. The major ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification crucial to normal development, with its dysregulation leading to various diseases including cancer. As interest in epigenomics grows, an innovative ...

Researchers have developed a comprehensive atlas that maps DNA methylation—a critical chemical modification governing gene activity—across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life's code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

A team that includes Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists has unlocked some of the secrets of corn DNA, revealing how specific sections of genetic material control vital traits such as plant ...

Skin biopsies collected from 623 wild belugas in Bristol Bay, Alaska, over 13 years have produced the most detailed genetic ...

This image depicts the detection of structural variants (SVs) at low sequencing coverage in both unique and repetitive regions by genomic proximity mapping (GPM), compared with other SV-calling ...
