DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...
In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...
A 'loopy' discovery in bacteria is raising fundamental questions about the makeup of our own genome -- and revealing a potential wellspring of material for new genetic therapies. A "loopy" discovery ...
Researchers uncovered how cells coordinate genetic compensation when faulty mRNA is degraded. Small RNA fragments act as sequence “addresses” that recruit ILF3 to activate related backup genes.
A giant virus encodes part of the protein-making toolkit of cells that gives it greater control over its amoeba host, raising questions about how it evolved and how such beings relate to living organi ...
A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...
SAN DIEGO and BOSTON, March 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In response to the government call for rapidly deployable countermeasures, Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRNE, Sorrento) and SmartPharm ...
On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.
