Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

The new method relies on methyl groups, small chemical tags attached to DNA that regulate whether genes are on or off. This ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Tokyo team built a neutral PEG-DNA complex that boosted gene expression in mouse muscle, avoiding cation-linked inflammation.

Beyond traditional monitoring of kidney transplant recipients, donor derived-cell free DNA may permit early identification of graft damage.

Engineered cells are a high-value genetic asset that is key to many fields, including biotechnology, medicine, aging, and ...

Scientists have created egg-like cells capable of fertilization using DNA from ordinary skin cells in what could be a major breakthrough for infertility research. Using a newly developed technique to ...

Researchers have developed ThermoCas9, a CRISPR enzyme that can distinguish cancer cells from healthy ones by reading DNA methylation patterns. In lab tests, it selectively edited breast cancer cell ...
