A piece of rotting fruit is likely covered in hundreds if not thousands of microscopic roundworms, including C. elegans—a popular experimental model system for studying neurogenetics. With a lifespan ...

Utah’s Great Salt Lake has long been cast as a nearly lifeless expanse, a place where brine shrimp and flies scrape by in water that can be up to 8% saltier than the ocean. That story has just been ...

Scientists have revived a 46,000-year-old parasite, previously thought to be extinct, that has been “living” in the Siberian permafrost. Detailed in a study published in PLOS Genetics, scientists ...

A female microscopic roundworm that spent the last 46,000 years in suspended animation deep in the Siberian permafrost was revived and started having babies in a laboratory dish. By sequencing the ...

It has long been known that environmental conditions can shape how traits are inherited, a phenomenon known as transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. However, the molecular signals responsible for ...

Research has demonstrated individual differences in and successfully extracted commonalities from the whole-brain activity of roundworms. The researchers also found that computer simulations based on ...

Joint research led by Yu Toyoshima and Yuichi Iino of the University of Tokyo has demonstrated individual differences in, and successfully extracted commonalities from, the whole-brain activity of ...
