Heidelberg biochemists and structural biologists from Shanghai unravel the roles of two key regulatory factors in mRNA ...

You're not likely to hear it brought up in casual conversation, but recombinant DNA has changed the world in a relatively ...

By analyzing the flowerpot snake's unique genome, scientists are uncovering how the tiny reptile repairs its DNA and prevents harmful mutations. The findings provides valuable insights into genetic ...

CRISPR gene-editing technology offers curative potential for genetic diseases. The gene-editing market is projected to reach $30.8 billion by 2032. Top gene-editing pioneers include Intellia ...

Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA plays a crucial role in tissue-specific gene regulation, with disease implications due to splicing defects. Predicting and manipulating AS can therefore uncover ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis ...

A central theme of this Research Topic is the identification and characterization of novel genetic mutations implicated in hereditary diseases. For instance, Wang et al. identified a splicing variant ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute have developed a new computational framework that allows simultaneous analysis of gene ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
