The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

DNA that humans acquired from ancient viruses plays a key role in switching parts of our genetic code on and off, a new study has found. Nearly half of the human genome consists of segments called ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

What scientists once dismissed as junk DNA may actually be some of the most powerful code in our genome. A new international study reveals that ancient viral DNA buried in our genes plays an active ...

JABSOM Cell and Molecular Biology researcher Dr. Jesse Owens has spent the better part of two decades chasing a vision that began with the revolutionary idea that DNA can move itself. Now, his team's ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own version. Cornell researchers have discovered that DNA packaging structures ...
