For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer. This allows bacteria to rapidly evolve new traits, such as antibiotic ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...
