To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

Polar bears face one of the toughest survival challenges in their history as the Arctic warms far faster than the rest of the ...

DNA is known to keep its form for centuries, and the researchers found that their tape could store data for more than 345 years at room temperature, or about 20,000 years at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 ...

Polar bears are expected to become extinct but there are some signs their DNA is changing and they are adapting to new ...

Genetic sharing among evolutionary neighbors all happens through hybrids: the offspring produced when individuals from two ...

Computational biology expert Nadia Lanman helps cancer researchers find solutions in massive datasets generated through ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

Twenty-five years ago, the release of the first complete Arabidopsis thaliana genome marked a pivotal turning point in plant ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

When it comes to finding answers, every moment counts—especially in critical care settings like the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units (NICU and PICU). Although rapid genetic tests, whether ...
