Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

DNA is typically found within chromosomes, but certain tumors store cancer-promoting genes outside of chromosomes as ...

Within all complex, multicellular living systems such as plants and humans, there exists a set of genetic elements that can ...

Traditionally, X-ray methods require at least 10,000 atoms to generate a detectable signal. This is because the X-ray signal ...

Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses ...

This way, they could target RNA molecules directly, without disrupting regulatory elements in DNA. While sequencing all ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Scientists have traced the evolutionary path from C3 to C4 photosynthesis, discovering key regulatory changes that could ...

Cas13, NYU researchers reveal that noncoding RNAs, previously deemed “junk,” are crucial for cell function and development.

A breakthrough tool called Helicase-Assisted Continuous Editing (HACE) allows scientists to create precise genetic mutations ...

In a recent paper published in the journal Genome Research, experts described the chromatin arrangement in the genomes of two ...

While the concept of personalized medicine isn't new, the ability to implement it effectively has been limited by the sheer ...
