The Egyptian Fayoumi is thought to be a particularly ancient breed of chicken. An international team has now developed the first map of gene regulation in chickens, potentially opening the way to find ...

Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran ...

Thanks to the flies, we know today that radioactivity can cause genetic mutations and breaks in chromosomes. A further milestone in the scientific career of Drosophila was the awarding of the Nobel ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a groundbreaking method called LoopTrace. By observing overlapping DNA loops ...

There’s a lot to explore in Google Maps, but you may not always know where to look. It’s great if you’re trying to drive through a crowded city or find out which local coffee shop has the ...

This is why celebrities often blur their homes on Google Maps, so that stalkers and thieves can't get a good look at it. And you can do the same. If your house is visible on Street View ...

A combination of methods, including a new method for tagging genes, demonstrates that the chemosensory co-receptors of Drosophila melanogaster (Orco, IR8a, IR25a, IR76b) are expressed widely and ...

This useful study presents findings on the developmental roles of Nup107, a key nucleoporin, in regulating the larval-to-pupal transition in Drosophila melanogaster ... via Torso receptors. The MAP ...
