Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

Researchers often use a nematode worm called Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) to study human genetics because at the molecular level, we have a lot in common with these organisms. Scientists used a ...

Cells are constantly on the move, whether in a developing embryo or metastatic cancer. But how do cells adapt to new environments they encounter? Traditionally, scientists have believed that cells ...

This is the first story in a series featuring Duke experts on issues of neurodiversity. Research into how climate change and air pollution affect the developing brain has grown exponentially in recent ...

Research on the human dimensions of global change concerns human activities that alter the Earth's environment, the driving forces of those activities, the consequences of environmental change for ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

Research shows that landscape changes across the Musi River Basin in Indonesia’s South Sumatra province risks food security across the river delta as fish stocks diminish and protein availability ...
