Letter to the Editor

Transposable elements mobilize within and occasionally between genomes, including from host to virus. We identified two insertions of the human BC200 noncoding RNA gene in the poxvirus molluscum conta...

Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The consequences, they say, are already becoming clear.

A clinical phase 1 trial of a single infusion of CS-101, CD34+ cells modified using a transformer base editor to reactivate fetal haemoglobin production, led to early and enduring transfusion independ...

Progress in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to advance scientific discovery has made it increasingly realistic to envision automated “end-to-end science” (ETES) systems: integrated pipelines t...

More than three-quarters of the penguins' population died during a separate strong El Niño event, fueling concerns for this year.

A survey of more than 300 mouse strains has found widespread discrepancies between how mutant mice are reported and their actual genetic make-up.

Swimming among the corals of the Great Barrier Reef is a fish that could be a doppelganger for the famous Sesame Street character Mr. Snuffleupagus. This bright orange-red, hairy, long-snouted ghost p...

Nature - Single-cell transcriptomics combined with morphological and ecological data show that the rapid evolutionary radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika was accompanied by dietary...

As the British naturalist celebrates a milestone birthday, we take a look at how his work has shaped science.

Freshwater mussels aren’t usually the first animals on people’s minds when they think of what inhabits our rivers and streams. However, these filter feeders are crucial and fundamental players in all ...

Gene expression is a fundamentally stochastic process, with randomness in transcription and translation leading to cell-to-cell variations in mRNA and protein levels. This variation appears in organis...

This Open Biology study uncovers how specialised stinging cells used for prey capture and defence, are regulated at a deeper level than ever before.

Discover how iconic eyespots evolved in certain ray and skate species, a defense trait surprisingly common across the animal kingdom.

A new technique shows DNA binding domains are not central to transcription factor targeting in human cells, unlike in bacteria
