A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

A Moffitt Cancer Center researcher has introduced a new model that addresses one of biology's most fundamental questions: How does genetic information keep living systems organized and therefore alive ...

Involving a collaboration with 118 investigators contributing from 89 institutions, scientists from Queen Mary University of ...

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 can infect ...

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 ...

A biologist widely recognized for his groundbreaking contributions to genomics, including leading efforts to sequence the first draft of the human genome, Venter and his team’s successful creation of ...

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz’s Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has yielded a new discovery: The proper transfer of genetic materials depends on ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all without editing or altering the cell’s genome. The system, published in Nature ...

Researchers have reported three major discoveries: water molecules actively driving gene transcription, a large-scale map of 90,000 human gene interactions, and a single-molecule enzyme screening ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...
