Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...

Each child is born into this world oblivious of the genetic risks for various diseases that they carry. Of course, they are too young and innocent to know it, but even their parents are ignorant of ...

Did you know one of the largest collections of marine DNA in the entire world is hiding just outside D.C.? In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” we’re taking an even deeper dive into the ...

The genetic network of BTB zinc finger transcription factors and Eip93F is crucial for Kenyon cell identity regulation and neuronal function acquisition in the construction of Drosophila mushroom ...

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized ...

Being invited to present research at an international academic conference is an honor for any seasoned professional. But for ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA ...

Only a few years ago, Tuesday’s announcement that a glove believed to be connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Tucson, Arizona, had no match to a DNA database would have been a dead end.

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...

Researchers work in a mobile Fire-Eye laboratory in Beijing in June 2020. The labs can identify coronavirus infections, as well as decipher and analyze human DNA. (Fu ...

Precision brain imaging of individuals with Parkinson’s disease reveals that the affected circuit is best characterized as a previously described network of brain regions called the somato-cognitive ...
