The same DNA tests used to catch criminals are now being used to prevent doctors from operating on the wrong patients. Indianapolis-based Strand Analytical Laboratories, which was started a decade ...

Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been an ethical ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation - the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

Broken String Biosciences today announced that its INDUCE-seq™ DNA break-mapping technology had been used in a peer-reviewed research paper to characterize off-target effects of CRISPR-Cas9 gene ...

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

A toddler from the U.K. is believed to be the only person in the world to be diagnosed with an extra strand of DNA – a condition so rare, doctors don’t even have a name for it ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have identified the structure of double-strand DNA break repair by PARP enzymes. The findings show that PARP2 can bridge the gap, bringing two ...
