DNA can signal the presence of or predisposition to a slew of diseases, including cancer. The ability to flag down these clues, known as biomarkers, allows medical professionals to make critical early ...

RNA Institute scientists are pioneering new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures, enhancing their potential for applications in medicine, materials science and data storage ALBANY, ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

In a recent preprint* uploaded to the bioRxiv server, researchers developed and trained a foundational model to predict tissue-specific RNA expression, splicing, RNA binding protein specificity, and ...

VIENNA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ribbon Bio GmbH, the DNA synthesis company, today announced the launch of MiroSynth™ DNA, its first commercial product designed to meet the growing demand for complex and ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising culprit that could be fueling the deadliest form of adult brain cancer, glioblastoma: tiny rogue DNA rings known as extrachromosomal DNA, or ecDNA. These ...

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an 'on-off switch' that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a new study. The research helps explain why TB is so hard to treat with ...

If you’ve ever thought about taking a DNA test to see where your heritage stems from, or to see if you have a long-lost, ideally famous, cousin you didn’t know about, then there’s no better time than ...

Bowhead whales, living over two centuries, defy cancer risks due to exceptional DNA repair, not more tumor suppressors. Researchers found their cells efficiently fix damage, preventing mutations. This ...
