Over 34 years in prison, Shawn Tanner maintained he was not guilty of murder. A legal battle over whether the dead can clear their names will grant his final wish.

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

A new study adds to a growing body of evidence that suggests asteroid impacts played a critical role in the emergence of life ...

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

Over his 34 years in prison, Shawn Tanner always maintained he was not guilty of murder, insisting on his innocence right up until his death in 2022.
