Scientists discovered hundreds of energy-making enzymes secretly working on human DNA—revealing a hidden “mini-metabolism” ...

Scientists developed Evo 2, a large biological foundation model trained on about 9 trillion DNA base pairs that can analyse ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

Florida State University researchers Patrick Stover and Regan Bailey have published findings showing that quadrupling the ...

A common type of error-correcting mechanism in biology is called kinetic proofreading. For example, if errors turn up when cells are making new DNA, enzymes can cut out incorrect nucleotides. They can ...

Researchers at Vilnius University (Lithuania) have uncovered how the bacterial protein Cas9, better known as the CRISPR-Cas ...

The majority of DNA in one’s body does not encode for any protein. In a Feb. 25 lecture, Rachel Mueller, Colorado State University biology professor, addressed questions surrounding junk DNA, ...

The convicted sex offender and the late Cold Spring Harbor Lab director maintained a relationship for years — even up until ...

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

Structural nanomedicine — what helped give us the COVID vaccine — may now be the key to a potent blood cancer treatment that’s had remarkable early results.

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...
