Loss of an enzyme necessary for a process called lipoylation disrupts the way cancer cells copy their DNA, increasing their ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

CRISPR functions as a programmable genetic memory system derived from bacterial immune defenses against viral infections. Guide RNA allows for rapid multiplexed targeting compared to older ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of ...

A man who was an escaped fugitive at the time of a 7-year-old Kentucky girl's abduction has been charged in her killing 30 years later, according to authorities. Morgan Jade Violi was abducted while ...

According to the RNA world hypothesis, life began when RNA molecules evolved the ability to make more copies of themselves. Now we have discovered an RNA molecule that is almost capable of this – it ...

Researchers in Shenzhen, China, have built a “cassette tape” that stores digital data as DNA strands on a thin plastic tape. A single prototype holds 36 petabytes, which is about one million gigabytes ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most genetic medicine uses viruses or double-stranded DNA to deliver genetic ...

A new study reveals how cells activate an emergency DNA repair system when their usual defenses fail, especially under the stress of tangled RNA–DNA structures called R-loops. Credit: Stock Scripps ...

The authors adapt sequencing of nascent DNA (DNA linked to an RNA primer, "SNS-Seq") to map DNA replication origins in Trypanosoma brucei. The main impact of this work is reporting a new set of ...

Molecular Biologist Dr. James Watson attends the 10th Anniversary Sing For Hope Gala at Tribeca Rooftop on October 24, 2016 in New York City. Editor at Large There’s no telling how the history of ...
