Alignment and sequencing errors are a major concern in molecular evolution, and this valuable study represents a welcome improvement for genome-wide scans of positive selection. This new method seems ...

Supported by the National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins researchers have created LiftOn, a new software tool that can ...

Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens ...

"I think in the Bruins DNA is playing well defensively, that's not going to change, but we have to find a way to be more ...

We spoke to "Elio" stars Zoe Saldaña, Yonas Kibreab, and Brad Garrett, alongside co-directors Domee Shi and Madeline ...

A particularly voluminous dataset in molecular genomics, known as whole genome alignments, has gained considerable importance over the last years. In this paper, we propose a compression modeling ...

Next-generation sequencing deals with exponential growth in sequence databases; the primary challenge is aligning short-read sequences in a time-efficient manner. Despite numerous efforts in ...

Large-scale nanoarrays of single biomolecules enable high-throughput assays while unmasking the underlying heterogeneity within ensemble populations. Until recently, creating such grids which combine ...

Almost five decades ago Crick, Orgel, and others proposed the RNA world hypothesis. Subsequent studies have raised the possibility that RNA might be able to support both genotype and phenotype, and ...

A new round of DNA testing exonerates a homeless man who has spent nearly four decades in prison for the killing of a Santa Ana nanny, according to defense attorneys who are asking Orange County ...
