A new study has revealed that gut bacteria may play a key role in aging, and that specific microbes could be targeted to ...

By using epigenetic modifications, you can quickly write data in parallel without needing to synthesize new DNA.

Researchers unveil the inner mechanisms of the most intricate and complex molecular machine in human biology. Scientists at ...

Science DNA breaks are toxic lesions for the cell. In order to repair these breaks, it is necessary, starting from the break ends, to find a homologous sequence within the vastness of the genome. In ...

A pioneering DNA test is being rolled out on the NHS as experts say there is a one in four chance of another pandemic on the scale of Covid-19 in the next decade ...

Experts have revealed the origins of a unique DNA duplication mechanism that grants plants additional ways to control genetic instructions.

Using a new technique, long-read sequencing, that allows DNA to be analyzed in much greater detail than before, a team of ...

The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium ...

The researchers also showed that the circles can contain not just cancer-driving oncogenes and genes that modulate the immune response, but also that others can contain only DNA sequences called ...

Tiny circles called ecDNA are critical in cancer development and drug resistance. An international team publishes landmark studies detailing new findings and potential therapies.

The research team tested the activity of over 2,600 different RNA sequences predicted to belong to a class of RNA enzymes called "twister ribozymes," which have the ability to cut themselves in two.
