The global search for a group A streptococcal (Strep A) vaccine has narrowed after researchers identified a common gene signature in almost all global Strep A strains by sequencing thousands of genomes in a project spanning 10 years and more than 20 countries.

A team of scientists has taken a significant step closer to unlocking the secrets of photosynthesis, by determining the structure of a very large photosynthetic supercomplex.

New computational analysis finds that more than two dozen human zinc finger transcription factors, previously thought to control activity of similar genes across species have in fact human-specific roles and could help explain how our species came to be.

Researchers recently investigated how the closely related West African green monkeys react to unknown sounds.

Leveraging artificial intelligence techniques, researchers have demonstrated that mutations in so-called ‘junk’ DNA can cause autism. The study is the first to functionally link such mutations to the neurodevelopmental condition and the first clear demonstration of non-inherited, noncoding mutations causing any complex human disease or disorder.

Doodle includes an invitation to pause for one minute of silence this afternoon’s National Day of Remembrance.

Renault confirms it has received FCA’s proposal, and a decision will be announced “in due course.”

Hey, Dad! Want to get fit? Of course you do, and here are several ways you can!

Since the first attempt to ascend the Himalayan mountain Makalu in 1955, climbers have tried less than 300 times. No wonder—it’s two and half months of hell.
