When two homozygous plant lines with different characteristics are crossed, the resulting offspring are often more robust and productive than their parents. This phenomenon is called heterosis. It can ...

In disease research, it's important to know gene expression and where in a tissue the expression is happening, but marrying the two sets of information can be challenging. "Single-cell technologies, ...

In a scientific feat that broadens our knowledge of genetic changes that shape brain development or lead to psychiatric disorders, a team of researchers combined high-throughput experiments and ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

A new computational machine learning method developed by computational biologists can help researchers discover spatial patterns of gene expression in diseased tissue. In disease research, it's ...
