The protein, reverse transcriptase, has become an essential tool for making DNA copies of RNA.

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

Tracking how genes switch on and off in the brain is essential for understanding many neurological diseases, yet the tools to ...

New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Nobel laureate David Baker’s latest foundation model can design proteins that interact to any biomolecule for broad biotech applications.

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

Monitoring gene activity in the brain just got a major upgrade. Rice University bioengineers have developed a novel serum ...

Researchers have identified how a single mutation in the GPX4 enzyme causes neurons to undergo ferroptosis, leading to severe early-onset dementia.

Viruses and their hosts—whether bacteria, animals, or humans—are locked in a constant evolutionary arms race. Cells evolve ...
