A new engineered gene-editing system, proven in bacteria and showing promise for use in plants, animals and humans, addresses ...

A genome search and protein language model produced new DNA-moving proteins, including one that doubled targeted insertion in lab tests.

Researchers are exploring how DNA–protein hydrogels can turn molecular information into mechanical and functional properties ...

One of biology's fundamental questions is how our genes shape who we are. Adrian Serohijos and Stephen Michnick, professors in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at Université de ...

For decades, biology has been organized around a deceptively simple idea: DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is translated into ...

Determining protein structures requires crystals, but getting proteins to crystallize has long depended on a slow, unpredictable process of trial and error ...

Traits pass from parents to offspring through DNA, or so the standard picture of heredity goes. In tiny worms, a new study found an exception that lasted for generations.

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that TDP43 controls a key DNA repair process, but when the protein becomes ...
