A single protein can self-assemble to build the scaffold for a biomolecular condensate that makes up a key nucleolar compartment.

A new approach for identifying significant differences in gene use between closely-related species provides insights into human evolution.

Biology graduate student Tong Zhang has spent the last two years learning the intricacies of how bacteria protect themselves.

The new findings could explain biodiversity hotspots in tectonically quiet regions.

Developing a new neuroscience model is no small feat. New faculty member Brady Weissbourd has risen to the challenge in order to study nervous system evolution, development, regeneration, and function.

A new study shows the carbon-capturing phytoplankton colonized the ocean by rafting on particles of chitin.

Prochlorococcus, the world’s most abundant photosynthetic organism, reveals a gene-transfer mechanism that may be key to its abundance and diversity.

Study finds the protein MTCH2 is responsible for shuttling various other proteins into the membrane of mitochondria. The finding could have implications for cancer treatments and MTCH2-linked conditions.

Scientists propose a new mechanism by which oxygen may have first built up in the atmosphere

Researchers create a mathematical framework to examine the genome and detect signatures of natural selection, deciphering the evolutionary past and future of non-coding DNA.
