Viruses and their hosts—whether bacteria, animals, or humans—are locked in a constant evolutionary arms race. Cells evolve ...

Nucleotide excision repair is a process that repairs damage to one strand of the DNA, particularly from UV irradiation, which distorts the DNA helix. The DNA flanking the damage site is cleaved to ...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery on asteroid Bennu, after a NASA spacecraft returned samples taken from it to ...

A single base change can create a devastating genetic disorder or a beneficial adaptation, or it might have no effect. How do mutations happen, and how do they influence the future of a species?

Space communications expert, Alexandra Doten, has explained what the discovery of a gum-like substance on an asteroid 63 ...

Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...

Abstract: Accurate identification of protein-nucleotide binding residues is essential for protein functional annotation and drug discovery. Advancements in computational methods for predicting binding ...

This study presents a large, systematically curated catalog of non-canonical open reading frames (ncORFs) in human and mouse by reanalyzing nearly 400 Ribo-seq datasets using a standardized pipeline; ...

The Major Histocompatibility Complex region evolves via gene birth-and-death, resulting in short-lived genes, rapidly expanding gene subfamilies, and many gene fragments.
