A temporally resolved CRISPR-Cas9 screen reveals DAC-induced DNA damage drives trans-cell cycle cytotoxicity that depends on ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

This new tool, known as minimal, versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT), combines the powers of gene editing, ...

on one strand of the DNA and cytosine-thymine-guanine, or CTG, on the complementary strand—begin to repeat over and over, expanding to as many as 40 to 120 copies. The extended copies create ...

This type of shuffling has been challenging to detect due to the high similarity between DNA sequences. The study also identifies specific regions of DNA that remain largely unchanged, likely serving ...

Mysterious Blobs Found inside Cells Are Rewriting the Story of How Life Works Tiny specks called biomolecular condensates are ...

The divide between their lineage and ours narrowed even further in 2010, when researchers published the first Neandertal genome sequence. Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA ...

Of course, though, testing a child's parentage based on physical features is far too subjective — that's typically where DNA tests come in. Such tests can offer a far more scientific way of ...

The research is published in the journal Nature. The study comprehensively analyzed "cis-regulatory elements" (CREs), which are the DNA sequences that regulate gene transcription. This work sheds ...

Advances in genomics (the methods we use to sequence some or all of our DNA) and reductions in the time and cost of sequencing mean it may now be possible to use genomics in newborn bloodspot ...
