A look at the brains of an endangered spiny rat off the coast of Japan by University of Missouri (MU) Bond Life Sciences Center scientist Cheryl Rosenfeld could illuminate the subtle genetic influences that stimulate a mammal’s cells to develop as male versus female in the absence of a Y chromosome.

A genome bank for the Japanese population can better identify rare genetic variants and disease susceptibilities by adding samples from distant areas of the country.

Genome sequencing of two Red Sea bacteria highlights their potential as industrial workhorses.

Scientists at Hokkaido University and in the U.S. have built a gene expression database of a stag beetle and identified genes important for sex determination and differentiation.
