A team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms. This technique is indistinguishable from natural variation and enabled the researchers to ...

The NEET UG syllabus includes Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology). Candidates can download the latest NEET ...

New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

The incidence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV)–associated oropharyngeal cancers—tumors of the back of the mouth and throat—is ...

Mutations fuel evolution while also causing diseases like cancer. Epigenome-targeted DNA repair can help organisms protect important genomic regions from mutation. However, the adaptive value, ...

DNA is often seen as the blueprint of life—carrying the code to govern the development and traits of an organism—but “there ...

Because RNAs are so central to our biology, they are also drivers of a wide array of diseases. Defects in how RNA is produced ...

DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these programmable nanodevices stable and functional inside living cells. If ...

DNA repair mechanisms are crucial for the survival and growth of cells. Through a comprehensive analysis, a research team at ETH Zurich has identified numerous redundancies between the genes involved ...

The system can be formulated completely as RNA, dramatically simplifying delivery logistics compared to traditional systems that use both RNA and DNA. By inserting an ... which are found in all ...

Human cells have a complex DNA repair system involving over 500 crucial genes. By analyzing interactions among these genes, researchers identified new potential targets for cancer therapy.
