Exome-Enriched Single-Nuclei Isoform Sequencing | Ebooks
1+ day, 17+ hour ago (221+ words) Get a More Complete View of RNA in Individual Cells Measuring gene expression can reveal which genes are active, but it does not always show the full picture. Different versions of the same gene, known as transcript isoforms, can play…...
Geneticists who sampled 243 boars and pigs around the Fukushima nuclear plant confirmed escaped farm pigs had bred into the wild boar herd, but the pig ancestry is erasing itself — hybrid sows inherit year-round breeding from domestic mothers, and faster generations dilute the pig genes faster
3+ hour, 2+ min ago (371+ words) A decade after Fukushima's evacuation, escaped farm pigs bred with wild boars—but nature is erasing the domestic legacy faster than anyone predicted. By Science Blog Editorial Team Published September 13, 2026 · How we edit When the sirens emptied the towns around…...
Proteomic Aging Clocks Enter the Clinic in Landmark Phase 2a Geroprotection
17+ min ago (744+ words) For decades, the central obstacle to testing therapies that slow human aging has been painfully simple: aging takes decades to measure. A drug that genuinely delays the biological processes of aging would need years, often a lifetime, of follow-up before…...
Transposable Elements Drive the Birth of Vast Satellite DNA Repertoires in
37+ min ago (597+ words) The genomes of true frogs have long puzzled geneticists. Amphibians are famous for carrying some of the largest and most repetitive genomes among vertebrates, and yet the detailed architecture of their repetitive DNA has remained poorly explored compared with mammals,…...
Epigenetic Age Tests Face Expert Backlash Over Reliability, Privacy and
37+ min ago (68+ words) Aging has become a product. Across North America and Europe, companies now sell direct-to-consumer epigenetic tests that estimate a customer’s biological age from DNA methylation patterns, often bundled with supplements and lifestyle programs marketed as capable of slowing or even…...

2+ hour ago (580+ words) Plant height may seem like a simple trait, but in soybean it sits at the heart of one of agriculture’s most consequential trade-offs. Tall plants can shade weeds and capture light, yet they topple in wind and rain, complicate harvest,…...
New computational tool reads hidden RNA cleavage signals in health and
2+ hour, 32+ min ago (747+ words) For years, biologists catalogued small non-coding RNAs by counting how many of each type appeared in a sequencing run. That approach treated tiny RNA molecules as a census problem, and it worked well enough for microRNAs, the classical regulators of…...
DartUniFrac Brings Megascale Computing to Microbiome Diversity Analysis

3+ hour, 23+ min ago (628+ words) A new open-source software package promises to transform how biologists hunt for the genetic switches that separate males from females in species with no reference genome....
Mole-Rat Genes Evolving Faster Than Expected Reveal Secrets of Subterranean
3+ hour, 46+ min ago (568+ words) Beneath the sun-baked soils of eastern and southern Africa, a family of rodents has quietly rewritten the rules of mammalian life. Naked mole-rats resist cancer, tolerate near-anoxic conditions and barely age. Damaraland mole-rats dig elaborate tunnel networks and live in…...
