Evolvability refers to the capacity of biological systems to generate heritable and adaptive phenotypic variation. Theoretical work has identified gen…

Researchers at MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard invented a “cellular self-reporting” approach to make living cells share their own transcriptomes, so that scientists can analyze them wit...

The Georgia conference of the American Association of University Professors [AAUP] and its partners in states across the South have been at the forefront of fighting attacks on higher education. To as...

As a labor-augmenting technology, large language models (LLMs) have the potential to accelerate scientific activity across the research pipeline. But even if LLMs perform on par with human experts at ...

“I used AI daily—how could I expect my students to avoid it entirely?” this computer scientist writes

Abstract. Gene expression has proven to be a source of evolutionary novelty and is important to phenotypic evolution. However, we still have a poor underst

When exposed to acute noise, Eastern bluebirds demonstrated no deficits in their ability to solve a novel problem to reach their nestlings. However, noise

Thirteen of the agency’s advisory councils, which must review grant applications before funding is awarded, are on track to have no voting members.

In the mountains of central Veracruz, scientific work is rarely abstract. It means walking narrow paths through cloud forest, speaking patiently with communities, and learning to read landscapes that…

Nature Neuroscience - Parcellation of the cortex into functionally modular brain areas is foundational to neuroscience. Here, Hayden, Heilbronner and Yoo question the central status of brain areas...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers led by C.L. Malone have unveiled compelling insights into the role of sex differences in the expression of mRNA relating to both structure and receptors within

A group of chimpanzees in Zambia have resurrected an old fashion trend with a surprising new twist.
