What OMB’s Proposed Federal Financial Assistance Rule Means in Practice

We uncover a large variety of putative inhibitory ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) in the phylum Cnidaria, the sister group to all bilaterian animals. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a complex evolut...

Single-cell analysis fails to find a functional link between the organization of chromatin domain organization and gene activity.

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Vaccines prevent disease, not infection, no matter how the word "vaccine" is defined

Unbeknownst to the general public, a generation of scientists is being sheared away as the Trump administration takes a chainsaw to federal…

For over twenty years, scientists thought they had understood the role of β-catenin in early animal development. β-Catenin, a key molecular signal, was believed to have the same fundamental function a...

Some animals are able to regenerate all missing cell types and large body parts after bisection, a phenomenon called whole-body regeneration. Many of these animals regenerate the correct tissues and s...

Nature Reviews Genetics - Controlling for phylogeny is essential in comparative genomics studies, because species, genomes and genes are not independent data points within statistical tests. The...

Abstract. Evolutionary innovations in chemical secretion—such as the production of secondary metabolites, pheromones, and toxins—profoundly impact ecologic

The evolutionary expansion of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules has been crucial for the establishment of cell adhesion and the transition from unicellular to multicellular life. Members of the pre...
