Recent groundbreaking research into ape genomes has uncovered mysterious non-human DNA structures that challenge our ...

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material found in nearly all living organisms. It carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all ...

Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new way to fine-tune genetic material. Their study, published in Nature ...

Most cases of localized or pre-metastatic prostate cancer can be cured by surgically removing the cancerous tissue or treating with radiotherapy. However, this is not true for aggressive metastatic ...

Scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research and collaborating institutions have developed a ...

Researchers have unveiled a new type of nanostructure that dramatically improves CRISPR delivery. Called lipid nanoparticle ...

A multi-institutional team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine says that genomic structural variation is an unappreciated mechanism involved in altering DNA methylation. They published ...
