Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

The trajectory of base editing has been remarkable, progressing from the laboratory to patient care, treating debilitating or ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting ...

Vincent Ma, MD, discusses the next steps in proving the value of circulating tumor DNA in predicting outcomes of advanced ...

The Atlas will expand known evolutionary genetic diversity by 100x, collecting novel genomic data from over 100 million new ...

Ancient DNA recovered from the floor of the North Sea shows that the lost land of Doggerland was covered in temperate forests and supported large land mammals during the Ice Age, long before it ...

Excavations on Peru's coast reveal pre-Inca parrot husbandry, radiocarbon-dated to 1100-1450, and long-distance transport ...

Entering a cell and watching its entire inner machinery at work, how DNA is copied, how proteins are assembled, or how it splits in two, has been, for decades, an impossible dream. Now, scientists at ...

When we artificially induce rain or snow, we use a process called cloud seeding. Particles are launched into the sky to give water molecules a surface to freeze onto. As the ice crystals grow heavier, ...

INSTALL results showed successful and safe non-viral insertion of large genetic payloads in the livers of mice when delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). In contrast, mice experienced fatal immune ...

Honoring Rosalind Franklin: the overlooked pioneer whose vital contributions to DNA research reshaped science and women's legacy.
