Long-read sequencing technologies analyze long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve ...

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

Most proteins are left-handed, but scientists have found an ancient molecule that works in both mirror-image forms.

Early research shows that editing expanding trinucleotide repeats halts the lengthening process that causes neurological ...

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful ...

Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have ...

At its heart, Berkshire wasn’t built on structure — it was built on trust. Charlie Munger described it best as a “seamless web of deserved trust”, not layers of compliance or convoluted incentives.

Genetic mutations occur everyday in our cells, but the vast majority of them are repaired. New research finds DNA repair is not on PAR in HD cells, causing mutations to build up in people with HD.

Like DNA hard drives, the approach could lock the world's data down for the long haul—if researchers can make it practical.

Groupings of these letters form the "code of life"; there are about 2.9 ... Other researchers had come up with possible models of the structure of DNA, but they were flawed. A team at King's College ...
