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 ...

Each cell has their own genetic code that helps maintain viability and directs function. This genetic code is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. DNA is the molecule that carries ...

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

The genetic code is a set of rules that translates the information encoded in DNA or RNA sequences into proteins, which are ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers have created the first comprehensive genetic resource to identify people at ...

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 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 ...

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

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