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

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

New enhancer protein expands IDT's market-leading portfolio of HDR reagents, empowering cell and gene therapy developers to ...

DNA phosphorothioate modification is a distinctive epigenetic alteration in which a non‐bridging oxygen atom within the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by ...

That’s why a team from UC San Diego in La Jolla set out with Yale University researchers to develop a new system for gene ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Epigenetics is the study of how our cells alter their function by modifying gene expression in our genetic code or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In our cells, DNA is constantly being used to generate ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin — DNA and proteins — plays a critical role.

New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform ...

DNA is often seen as the blueprint of life—carrying the code to govern the development and traits of an organism—but “there are things beyond the DNA sequence,” says Xiaoqi Feng, a plant geneticist at ...

HHMI Janelia Research Campus Senior Group Leader Meng Wang and her team study longevity. They've shown that by overexpressing an enzyme in the lysosomes of the roundworm C. elegans, they can extend ...
