Imagine that you want to know the plot of a movie, but you only have access to either the visuals or the sound. With visuals ...

Genome editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 have transformed biology, medicine, and agriculture, but concerns remain about ...

Genetic variation also plays a major role. It doesn’t encode trauma itself, but it shapes traits such as sensitivity to ...

Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could ...

Scientists have identified human genes that act like light switches, flipping on or off and influencing fertility and disease risk.

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes ...

The DNA of 10 families exposed to the ’80s violence and 22 families to the 2011 conflict was compared to the genetic material of 16 families who left Syria before 1980, avoiding decades of unrest.

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...

Neandertal DNA may affect the color of our skin and hair, how readily our blood clots, our propensity for heart disease, and how our cells respond to various environmental stressors such as radiation.

To encode the book in DNA, Asimov Press worked with Boston-based company Catalog, which created approximately 500,000 unique DNA molecules to encode the 240 pages in the book, representing 481,280 ...

RNA processing. In eukaryotes, genes contain exons (coding sequences of DNA) and introns (non-coding sequences). The RNA copy made in transcription, or pre-mRNA, includes both the exons and introns.

Figure 2.WhiA binding site in M. gallisepticum.(A) The sequence logo of WhiA binding sites in the rpsJ operon promoter of Mollicutes.(B) EMSA of Mgal-WhiA recognition of wild-type and mutated binding ...
