One of the greatest transformations in modern medicine arguably began with a corned beef sandwich.It was the late 1960s, and new Department of ...

The slice of code — a stretch of DNA that acts like a dial to turn up the expression of certain genes — expanded the outer ...

In a new study out this week, the researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences unveiled a powerful new tool called ...

Life depends on genes being switched on and off at exactly the right time. Even the simplest living organisms do this, but usually over short distances across the DNA sequence, with the on/off switch ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

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

In Brazil, researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and collaborators from the University of São ...

Farmers have been improving the genetics of their animals for thousands of years through selective breeding. Wild boars were ...

It probably appeared at the very dawn of animal evolution, around 150 million years earlier than previously thought. Long-distance gene control, called distal regulation, relies on physically folding ...
