When it comes to genetically modified organisms, testing is crucial. Because they're biological, it's important to contain them both physically and genetically. Now, scientists have created a method to cause genetically modified biological organisms to die if released from the lab into the "wild."
The willingness to take on a new project or task could help you get a new job, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Missouri and Lehigh University.
New findings published in Nature Genetics uncover DNA's biological significance, according to researchers at Cornell University. They examined how new computational methods can indentify positions in the human genome that play a role in the proper functioning of cells.
New findings published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute showed that drinking coffee could help to protect against melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have produced an approach that works to protect animal models against a type of genetic disruption that's responsible for intellectual disability, including serious memory impairments and altered levels of anxiety.
Sleeping a certain way could increase mortality risk for epilepsy patients. Recent findings published in the journal Neurology found that though a relatively rare occurrence, unexpected death has been known to occur in those with the health problem.
Statistics show that as many as four in every ten American children live in low-income families, according to new research from the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP) at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.
Previous studies have connected urban environments to an increased risk of asthma and various other respiratory illnesses. Now, recent findings published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology take a look at those living with asthma in urban, suburban and rural areas and how they compare.
Our galaxy could be a massive wormhole, according to a new study. Based on the latest evidence and theories, the Milky Way could also potentially be "stable and navigable," which could prompt researchers to re-think dark matter.
When it comes to emotions, men and women act differently. Now, scientists have discovered that men and women may actually process emotions differently.
Scientists may have discovered a new species of predator crocodile that actually preceded the dinosaurs. They've uncovered a new species called Nundasuchus, a nine-foot-long carnivorous reptile with steak knifelike teeth.
A warming climate may just change northern forests. Scientists have found that in the coming decades, we'll probably see a very different set of trees due to climbing temperatures.
