EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking genetic map. This resource identifies individuals at risk for high cholesterol and heart disease. It works ...

HUMANS could live for centuries after scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal. The bowhead whale that can live for more than 200 years could hold the key to prolonging ...

Leiden researchers, led by Sebastian Pomplun, have developed a new method to screen hundreds of thousands of molecules for ...

Multiple epigenetic changes associated with cannabis use had previously been linked to things like cellular proliferation, hormone signaling, infections, neurological disorders like schizophrenia and ...

An artificial intelligence model predicts how brain immune cells react to RNA and DNA nanoparticles, helping scientists design safer and more effective nucleic acid therapies faster.

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease.

Summer McKesson’s quest for answers to her medical condition would unearth a family secret – and a doctor’s decades-old ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual ... “We’ve spent 70 years learning to read the genetic code. Understanding this new geometric code became possible only ...

The visible signs of ageing – wrinkles, greying hair, aching joints – are only the surface expression of something far more ...

For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...

Some scientists instead believe Dsup acts like a shield. In this model, Dsup coats and physically blocks radiation from striking DNA. Others think it boosts the cell’s repair machinery, fixing damage ...
