Genetic switches near the FTO locus may enable hibernators’ extreme metabolic resilience and could inspire future treatments ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

Most of the genetic risk for developing a substance use disorder comes from genes that broadly affect how our brains process ...

Animals come in an extraordinary range of body shapes. A starfish looks nothing like an earthworm, a mouse, or a human. Yet even closely related species can appear radically different: corals, ...
