A new study has revealed that "junk DNA" descended from ancient viruses could play a key role in controlling genes.

CRISPR-associated transposases (CAST) revolutionize enzyme engineering, enabling precise modifications for improved ...

Improved understanding of how bacterial defense mechanisms operate may help scientists select phages with the best chance of ...

During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, ...

Researchers report that eight healthy babies were born with the help of a technique that uses DNA from three people to help ...

An unusual DNA structure may hold the key to treating one of the deadliest cancers affecting women, which claims more than ...

Cells use a step-by-step process to untie knots in DNA, called G4 structures. First, the G4 knot is recognized as a problem by the cell. Special DNA damage response proteins start the repair by ...

Here, we introduce the Interpretable protein-DNA Energy Associative (IDEA) model, a predictive model that learns protein-DNA physicochemical interactions by fusing available biophysical structures and ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity.
