These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

Living organisms share an ancestor called the last universal common ancestor, or LUCA. LUCA is estimated to have lived ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they ...

With a shared purpose, we can realize the true promise of CRISPR and improve healthcare, providing hope to more patients with ...

Rutgers Develops New Tool for Examining Cancer Genomic Data that Could Improve Treatment When scientists sequence tumor DNA, ...

City St. George’s researchers identified 9 genetic signatures and epigenetic changes driving lapatinib resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer. Cancer scientists from City St George’s, University of ...

Google DeepMind’s research team recently published in the international academic journal *Nature* the development process of ...

QIMR Berghofer scientists have discovered a cancer-fighting RNA molecule that could hold the key to a new way of treating the ...

Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the lab and in ancient rocks and space dust, RNA is yielding clues that are far ...

Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high ...

Our DNA is made of millions of combinations of the genomes that create the human body. Even the smallest changes in these sequences, or in how they act, can change the functioning of the whole body ...
