Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make ...

Biological sex is usually described in simple binary terms: male or female. This works well for germ cells (sperm versus eggs ...

New research shows that wherever human populations mix, their languages blend as well ...

It’s hard to find programmers these days who aren’t using AI coding assistants in some capacity, especially to write the repetitive, mundane bits. But those who refused to try the tools when Coinbase ...

The code of life is simple. Four genetic letters arranged in triplets—called codons—encode amino acids. These are the building blocks of proteins, the machinery that powers life. But the genetic code ...

Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.

A new study has uncovered a key difference between the immune system of males and females - and it comes down to a single gene. It is known that biological sex affects the function of the immune ...
