A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...
A team of biochemists has discovered in bacteria a protein capable of building DNA without following known genetic ...
In a shallow pond at Oxford University Parks, surrounded by dog walkers and rowing crews, a single-celled organism has been ...
DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...
Researchers use AI to discover 14 distinct nucleosome states, revealing that DNA packaging acts as a "volume dial" for gene ...
How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...
A newly discovered protein from Earth’s toughest animal is inspiring breakthrough therapies for cancer and cardiovascular disease. In 2016, researchers uncovered one of the tardigrade’s secrets: a ...
