Bird genomes are the smallest among amniotes; however, they remain challenging to assemble due to their structural complexity. This study presents a f…

The zebra finch is one of the best-studied songbirds and a model for understanding the biology and neuroscience of vocal learning.

AbstractMotivation. The presence or absence of some genes in a genome can influence whether other genes are likely to be present or absent. Understanding t

Birds have an excellent ability to learn to discriminate harmless insects from those that they mimic on the basis of subtle differences in appearance.

Despite >100 million years of mammal diversification, similar placental morphologies have independently evolved multiple times, presenting a long-standing evolutionary puzzle: what genetic mechanisms ...

The microbiome is well known to drive variation in host states (e.g. behaviour, immunity) that would be expected to modulate the spread of infectious disease—but the role of microbiotal interactions i...

Variation in the composition of different ribosomes, termed ribosome heterogeneity, is a now well established phenomenon. However, the functional implications of this heterogeneity on the regulation of protein synthesis are only now beginning to be ...

Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.

US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun helped explain how genes work inside the human body.
