The maze constructed by the researchers was designed with fully automated features and video tracking to avoid some of the other experimental pitfalls of earlier mazes

In the new study, the scientists observed the virus’s effects in animal models at two different points—during early postnatal development, when the brain is growing rapidly, and at weaning, when the brain has largely reached adult size

The extremely bright X-rays from the Advanced Photon Source will give scientists an unprecedented look inside the arm bones of the largest and best-preserved T. rex skeleton ever found

To quantify nucleic acids, DNA, or RNA, scientists often use the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)

“Discovering DNA related to the black widow spider toxin gene came as a total surprise," researcher says

Tanuja Koppal, PhD, speaks with Jennifer Smith, PhD, deputy director of the ICCB-Longwood Screening Facility, and Yanhui (Claire) Hu, PhD, senior bioinformatician at the Drosophila RNAi Screening Center in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School

More evidence that life could have evolved with relative ease: New research supports ancestors of genes self-copying in a mushy puddle

Finding has implications for other diseases involving multiple genes

"To our knowledge, this is the first robust evidence linking the number of these ribosomal genes to bacterial growth rate and growth efficiency," researcher says

Workflow has the potential to provide researchers with significant cost savings while maintaining the quality of single cell sequencing

A misunderstanding of how the certain parts of the brain function has hampered the creation of pharmaceuticals to effectively address fear and anxiety disorders, a pair of researchers has concluded

In order to uncover the structure of these proteins, researchers used a technique called protein crystallography
