His method of locating genes in human DNA allowed researchers to find disease-causing genes, and later to map the entire, ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have built CRISPR-GPT, a large language model designed to automate the full arc of gene-editing ...

Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

JAXA samples reveal that asteroid Ryugu has a complete set of nucleobases, the building blocks of DNA, suggesting these ingredients of life may be common in the solar system.

Silicon nanotube arrays deliver functional mRNA into human pluripotent stem cells for the first time, achieving up to 64% transfection without compromising stem cell identity.

After false starts and incremental gains, scientists crack the problem that made breathing impossible. Will answers come fast ...

The Evo2 genomic language model can generate short genome sequences, but scientists say further advances are needed to write genomes that will work inside living cells. Now, researchers have used ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Tokyo team built a neutral PEG-DNA complex that boosted gene expression in mouse muscle, avoiding cation-linked inflammation.

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily. So for ...
