In this study, researchers aimed to characterize the mutational landscape of the tumors of domestic cats to determine whether similarities to humans could translate to the clinic.

A desert community lives on a diet of blood and meat that would make most people sick.

Scientists have mapped the genetics of cancer in cats for the first time at scale, uncovering major overlaps with human cancers. Key mutations—like those linked to breast cancer—appear in both species ...

Animals that dwell at high altitudes have adapted to cope with low oxygen levels, a condition that damages a vital part of nerve cells ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base ...

The Michigan State University College of Human Medicine is working to raise awareness of an often hidden gene mutation that's ...

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and ...

Cute but cantankerous, koalas are making a surprising recovery from a genetic bottleneck, with their once most-threatened ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

Humans really do rule the world. We took over fast and far, more than any other wild vertebrates. We inhabit nearly every ...

A large international study has mapped the genetic landscape of feline cancers for the first time, revealing striking similarities between tumor-driving mutations in cats, humans, and dogs.

The Iñupiat people of Alaska have long said that bowhead whales live two human lifetimes. That oral knowledge turned out to be conservative.
