Scientists found that an ancient enzyme called AMPK helps cells when energy levels are low.
The scientific study, rewrites the world's only flying mammals' family tree, contradicts long-held assumptions of where the species arose.
The single-celled organism smashed the previous record for heat tolerance of complex life by surviving in 158°F (70C) spring waters.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a process to manufacture flu vaccines in baker's yeast.
Researchers have never had a complete baseline for understanding the DNA of marmosets, a species of tree-dwelling monkey, until now.
By identifying the genes and molecules crucial to resistance in American chestnuts and other species, researchers hope to use genomic techniques to breed trees that can flourish in the face of blight.
Environmental DNA contained in a small sample of water, sand or even air can reveal the presence of people, wildlife and pathogens, helping researchers track where they’ve migrated.
Scientists pieced together the genetic history of Acinetobacter baumannii — a notoriously stubborn hospital pathogen — using samples dating back 50 years to the 1970s.
The study identified a "biological clock" which ticks in every cell of the body.
