Like going from a pinhole camera to a Polaroid, a significant mathematical update to the formula for a popular bioinformatics data visualization method will allow researchers to develop snapshots of single-cell gene expression not only several times...
A group of international experts has developed a much-needed framework to significantly improve the monitoring of status and trends of species worldwide. This finding comes after a multi-year collaboration under the auspices of the Group on Earth...
For her pioneering work in computer science, Grace Murray Hopper ’30 M.A., ’34 Ph.D. has been dubbed the “queen of code” by her biographers. Yet, beneath that crown was the brain of a mathematician, according to an article in Notices of the American...
More than a quarter of children with autism spectrum disorder are also diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders. For the first time, Yale researchers have identified a possible biological cause: a key mechanism that regulates emotion functions...
Frogs already knew it wasn’t easy being green, but the going just got a lot tougher for the 1,012 additional species of amphibians who have now been newly identified as at risk of extinction in a Yale-led study.
This paper is published in Current Biology...
When school let out for summer on Wednesday, close to 100 Yalies left campus with a virtual toolbox in hand — a starter pack of data science methods, excellent for digging into whichever academic fields await them.
These students were enrolled in the...
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the human body, an essential function for survival. Anemia results when someone has fewer red blood cells than normal. The world’s most common blood disorder, anemia comes in many different varieties — mild to...
Three junior faculty members in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences have won awards for their scholarly research or publications.
Noreen Khawaja, associate professor of religious studies, has been awarded the Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Prize for Outstanding...
Speaking to a small group of local teenage girls, Yale’s Dr. Marjorie Rosenthal told them about her first feminist act. “In seventh grade, we all, boys and girls, had to take typing for the first time. Well, I said, ‘I’m not going to take typing because I...
Authors from Yale and Michigan State University collaborated on a National Science Foundation study of five types of fungi that has illuminated a successful new strategy for pinpointing genes responsible for the evolution of certain biological processes....
