The technique used on a 9½-month-old boy with a rare condition has the potential to help people with thousands of other ...

A study published in the journal Cell marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that ...

doctors employed a technique that flips the mutated DNA “letter” — also known as a base — to the correct type. Known as “base editing,” it reduces the risk of unintended genetic changes.

A new study finds that the ability to control genes from far away, over many tens of thousands of DNA letters, evolved between 650 and 700 million years ago. It probably appeared at the very dawn ...

But in complex organisms, these switches are sometimes separated from the genes that they regulate by long lines of DNA letters, sometimes numbering in the tens of thousands. Recent research has found ...

The finding is surprising given its genome is around just 200 million DNA letters long. In comparison, the human genome is 3.1 billion letters long and our cells can have tens of thousands of loops.
