EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

Scientists have long thought of DNA as an instruction manual written in the four- chemical bases—A, C, T, and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking genetic map. This resource identifies individuals at risk for high cholesterol and ...

A new study of the bizarre naked mole rat shows that the animals have evolved a DNA repair mechanism that could explain their longevity. These burrow-dwelling rats have a maximum life span of nearly ...

From CRISPR to gene banking, synthetic biology has big implications for wildlife evolution and conservation, but ethical ...

We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...

A genetic study of canines living in Chernobyl's Exclusion Zone separates myth from a potential breakthrough in understanding ...

Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...
