Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have developed a tool that can locate safe places to introduce genes into human DNA. The tool is an…
The researchers used ancient genomes to reveal new information about the human history of adaption. Ancient DNA, including samples from human remains that are around…
A ‘game-changing’ new chapter in the history of evolution has been opened after two-million-year-old DNA has been identified for the first time. Researchers discovered microscopic…
Modeling shows how genetic changes that don’t lead to changes in protein sequence can still alter protein function. New modeling shows how synonymous mutations —…
A Yale University study presents a new explanation for why immunotherapy only works for some cancer patients. Immunotherapy, a biotherapy that improves the immune system’s…
Cancer cells delete DNA when they go to the dark side, so a team of doctors and engineers targeted the ‘backup plans’ that run essential cell…
Nonlinear decision-making with enzymatic neural networks DNA can be utilized to reliably store massive amounts of digital data. However, it has hitherto proven challenging to…
The finding could alter our understanding of how parasitic DNA affects genome evolution. Meiotic drivers, a kind of selfish gene, are indeed selfish. They are…
The research was the largest-ever genome-wide association study. The study, which was recently published in the journal Nature, is the largest genome-wide association study ever conducted, using the…
The researchers found that strict parenting can affect the way the body reads DNA. The way the body reads the children’s DNA might change as…
Scientists are peeling back ancient layers of banana DNA in order to find the “mystery ancestors” before they go extinct. It is believed that humans…
Scientists have identified new cancer treatment targets. In Switzerland, cancer is the second-leading cause of death. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the cancer form…
Using DNA barcodes to track cancer cells through time, scientists show that cells within a cancer have diverse abilities to escape immune system defenses. According…
Tailoring the analysis of whole genome sequencing to individual patients could double the diagnostic rates of rare diseases, finds a new study led by researchers…
Birdsong reveals a rare hybrid coupling. Stephen Gosser, a self-described “diehard birder,” was out in the Western Pennsylvania woods in June of 2020 when he…
A new class of drug transporters made of DNA that are 20,000 times smaller than a human hair and that could improve how cancers and…
According to new research, butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of…
