Tubes, visible in light green, are roughly seven nanometers in diameter — about two million times smaller than an ant — and several microns long,…
Researchers have discovered a new structure of telomeric DNA, which could be key to living longer. Researchers have discovered a new structure of telomeric DNADNA,…
Scientists have developed a new technique to reveal the hidden human genome. Numerous short RNARibonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule similar to DNA that…
The origin of Assateague’s wild horses has remained a mystery for centuries, but new genetic data supports the theory that they descended from Spanish horses…
This study was the first comprehensive eDNA biodiversity survey conducted on Mount Everest. From only 20 liters of water gathered in one of the toughest…
Scientists have solved the century-old mystery of a supergene that causes efficient cross-pollination in flowers. The Long and Short of a Supergene for Efficient Pollination…
Inheritance, as it pertains to genetics, refers to a trait or variants encoded in DNA and transferred from parent to child during reproduction. The discovery…
The researchers evaluated changes in DNA methylation and discovered that hibernation slows biological aging. A recent study headed by University of Maryland scientists explains why…
Analysis of the genome and proteome shows that eukaryotic evolution gave rise to the regulatory function of chromatin. Two meters of DNADNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid,…

Restorative gene editing using sequences from the counterpart chromosome: The standard CRISPR enzyme Cas9 offers the ability to make repairs but also potentially results in…
Researchers discovered that long-lived organisms often exhibit high expression of genes involved in DNA repair, RNA transport, and cellular skeleton organization and low expression of…
The paper provides a new technique for improving and changing the function of proteins. Improved protein function opens the door to novel drug development possibilities.…
Scientists were able to examine tens of millions of three-dimensional locus groupings with the help of the new technology which they named Pore-C. The human…
Using DNA Origami, which involves folding complementary strands of DNA into double helixes, scientists can create small devices with intricate structures that could be injected…
The discoveries show that ancient DNA can be recovered from Pompeiian human bones, providing new insight into this historic community’s genetic history and lifestyles. The…
