This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists and colleagues discuss phenomics, exposomics, and the factors that influence DNA ...

From understanding hereditary diseases to predicting drug responses, sequencing helps researchers uncover the subtle language ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hundreds of millions of new cases of bacterial sexually transmitted ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still ...

Scientists have confirmed a great white shark found dead on a beach in western Victoria in 2023 was killed by orcas for its ...

Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one direction only. The discovery, which is published in Cell, is key to understanding how ...

New research findings by Oceana, in collaboration with marine geneticist Dr. Adrian Munguia-Vega and in partnership with prestigious Swiss watchmaker, Blancpain, detected ...

In the meantime, the researchers are working to understand how DNA-repeat tracts longer than 150 CAGs lead to neuronal impairment and death, and why repeats expand more in some kinds of neurons ...

Unlike a band that would unwind if released, DNA gyrase stabilises DNA's twisted form, making it functional for bacteria. The enzyme wraps DNA in a 'figure-of-eight' loop, then precisely breaks ...
