USC Dornsife has given four longstanding fields clearer academic identities, increasing their visibility in research and graduate education.

More than two decades after scientists first sequenced the entire human genome—all 3 billion base pairs, of DNA code—the ...

Phylogenetic systematics is the discipline concerned with reconstructing the evolutionary relationships among organisms by analysing shared derived characteristics. It provides a framework for ...

An international collaboration between four senior scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published groundbreaking research in the journal PNAS, shedding light on the most significant ...

Astromech is developing AI models that use evolutionary history to forecast biological change, risks, and regulatory ...

The field of evolution examines how organisms adapt to their environments over generations, but what about the evolution of evolution itself? Researchers have long questioned why biological ...

The formal foundations of systems biology were articulated in the early 2000s, when Leroy Hood and colleagues at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle proposed a framework combining systematic ...

Part I. Introduction: Bioinformatician's primers. 1. Introduction to genome biology and diversity / Noor Youssef, Aidan Budd, and Joseph P. Bielawski ; 2. Probability, statistics, and computational ...

MIT researchers have engineered bacteria that can perform the basic switching functions of transistors. The breakthrough lets them build biological circuits from living cells instead of electronic ...
