Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from ...
EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...
A casual conversation between graduate students helped spark a breakthrough in aging research at Mayo Clinic. Researchers discovered that tiny synthetic DNA molecules called aptamers can selectively ...
From the molecules that drive fundamental cellular processes to the signals that influence disease, the field of molecular biology continues to reshape how scientists understand life. Read the top ...
A team at Mayo Clinic has developed synthetic DNA strands that can seek out and latch onto senescent cells, the damaged, lingering cells that refuse to die and instead accumulate in tissues as we age, ...
Much of what shapes people’s lives happens at an unseen level—it comes down to DNA. This year, The Scientist explored genetic insights into how individuals smell, metabolize alcohol, and even how ...
