Scientists have long known that human genes spring into action through instructions delivered by the precise order of our DNA, directed by the four different types of individual links, or "bases," ...

In the cancer type multiple myeloma, the malignant cells differ significantly from normal cells regarding the layer of ...

The University of California San Diego researchers used artificial intelligence to identify a DNA activation code, which was previously known to be "an enigma," but can later be utilized in n ...

Figure 1: Light-inducible, RNA-guided activation of endogenous human genes by the LACE system. All new plasmids described in this study are available from Addgene (plasmid ID 60551-4, 60718-9). All ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have developed a new method to discover how DNA controls genes. Their technique, ...

Scientists describes how DNA avoids damage when exposed to UV light. Too quick for the eye to see, UV light causes an electron to be transferred from one base to another on a single DNA strand. A base ...

In a series of experiments using human cancer cell lines, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have successfully used light as a trigger to make precise cuts in genomic material rapidly, ...

One of the most effective chemotherapy drugs against cancer is cisplatin because it attaches to cancer DNA and disrupts repair. However, it also kills healthy tissue. A Virginia Tech chemistry-biology ...
