Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that DRT3, a unique defense system found in bacteria, creates DNA to ...

In today’s rapidly evolving scientific landscape, eliminating barriers to progress is more critical than ever. Precision medicine and targeted therapies hold great promise but are dependent on the ...

Scientists have just discovered an entirely new way that DNA can be synthesized. The business of constructing DNA ...

The work demonstrates the power of ancient DNA to illuminate human biology and medicine in addition to history. A massive ...

Scientists are uncovering a deeper layer of DNA biology—where its shape, stiffness, and 3D organization are just as important as its sequence. New tools are mapping how replication starts, how damage ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Working on human pus in a medieval castle, Miescher discovered a substance that would eventually unlock our understanding of ...

Vinyl records and DNA sequencing might not seem like they have a lot in common, but in a video by PacBio, adjunct assistant professor of Biology Andor Kiss made a case for their similarities. PacBio ...

Maternal DNA from Neanderthal teeth found in Stajnia Cave show Neanderthals moved across wide areas of Europe.
