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.
A new FDA fast-track program could undermine the agency’s role as a global drug safety authority.
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.
Scientists say lab-grown stem cells were used to restore retinal function in blind mice.
Scientists from Rutgers University found DNA and genes from mice have changed to adapt and survive even the strongest poisons available.
