The discovery indicates that epigenetic inheritance could occur more frequently than previously believed. A fundamental discovery concerning a driver of healthy development in embryos might…
A recent study headed by University of Maryland scientists explains why small mammals like bats live such long lives. The big brown bat, which is…
Analysis of the genome and proteome shows that eukaryotic evolution gave rise to the regulatory function of chromatin. Two meters of DNA must fit into…
A collection of photos of genetically unrelated lookalikes, along with DNA analysis, has revealed that strong facial similarity is linked with shared genetic variants. The…
Researchers have found a new pathway for the buildup of “zombie cells,” which promote aging. Senescent cells, or cells that have lost their ability to divide,…
Could let computers work at warp speed, save energy, and even make trains fly. Scientists have used DNA to overcome a nearly insurmountable obstacle to…
Delft University of Technology scientists have created baker’s yeast with human muscle genes. Human muscle genes were successfully inserted into the DNA of baker’s yeast…
Scientists have constructed the smallest flow-driven motors in the world. Inspired by iconic Dutch windmills and biological motor proteins, they created a self-configuring flow-driven rotor…
Constructing a tiny robot out of DNA and using it to study cell processes invisible to the naked eye… Although it certainly sounds like science…
Targeted repairs with ‘nicks’ of single DNA strands provide the foundation for novel disease therapies. One of the great challenges of modern medicine is curing…
Researchers from the University of Rochester who are interested in longevity genetics propose new targets to fight aging and age-related disorders. Mammals that age at vastly…
Improved protein function opens the door to novel drug development possibilities. In a paper that was published in the journal Science, scientists from Sweden’s Karolinska…
The human genome’s inner workings could be revealed through new Cornell-developed technology. Researchers from Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Weill Cornell Medicine, and the New York Genome…
Mice trials show that nanodevices are not harmful in large dosages The ability to create DNA structures for use in biomedical applications like creating vaccinations…
The first Pompeiian human genome has been sequenced. Research that was recently published in Scientific Reports presents the first human genome that has been successfully…
A new mechanism links mutations in areas devoid of genes to cancer. For many years, the human genome was seen as a book of life,…
Researchers have identified a molecule with enhanced antiproliferative activity in cancer cells Vitamin D3 performs critical biological tasks such as maintaining bone mineral density, which…
An international group of geneticists and archaeologists has discovered that the ancestry of dogs can be traced to at least two populations of ancient wolves….
