The latest imaging method from the Broad Institute uncovers structural disruptions in the nucleus associated with progeria at super-resolution.

At some point, RNA must have replicated itself before the evolutionary arrival of DNA and proteins, and now we might know how ...

Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

Researchers have revealed the fundamental mechanisms underlying homologous recombination – one of the main DNA repair pathways in human cells.

A team of researchers at Columbia, Harvard and University of Minnesota has developed a gene editing technique they say could ...

Scientists have uncovered a critical role for rapid DNA repair in maintaining genome stability. A new study reveals that ...

KJ Muldoon came into the world with a genetic time bomb ticking inside him.

Initial experimental results showed that the tool helped modify the target gene in more than 90% of Escherichia coli colonies ...

He’s among the first to be successfully treated with a custom therapy that seeks to fix a tiny but critical error in his genetic code that is often fatal.

Scientists have found a way to sample DNA out of the air on a large scale — making it possible to one day track the health ...

Somatic hypermutation (SHM) of immunoglobulin variable (V) regions modulates antibody-antigen affinity is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA).
