Sharks might not be a natural biological group, with most species potentially closer kin to rays than to an oddball group of sharks.

Expensive (gas fees drain budgets) Complex (requires deep technical expertise) Risky (upgradable contracts = security vulnerabilities) Manual (human error-prone processes) Slow (days or weeks to ...

Life’s story may stretch further back than scientists once thought. Some genes found in nearly every organism today were already duplicated before all life shared a common ancestor. By tracking these ...

Eli Lilly is continuing a run of dealmaking to strengthen its genetic medicine offering by penning a pact with gene editing company Seamless Therapeutics. This morning’s deal with Seamless centers on ...

Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers found that up to nine in ten cases could be linked to the APOE gene — even ...

Octopuses break so many biological expectations that scientists still struggle to explain how they ended up this way through normal evolution. From how their brains work to how their bodies heal, ...
