Scientists reveal how a ‘molecular machine’ in bacterial cells prevents fatal DNA twisting, which could be crucial in the development of new antibiotic treatments. DNA...

About 15 years ago, UNC Lineberger’s Dale Ramsden, PhD, was looking through a textbook with one of his students when they stumbled upon a scientific...

A paper recently published in PNAS reports optical mapping of DNA from a single cell. Notably, it demonstrates isolation of a single cell, extraction...

Only a few years ago, scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), among others, described a new damage pattern in the genetic material...

Epigenetic changes often play an important role in cancers, because they cause the genetic material to be read incorrectly at certain points. Particularly critical are...

A major new study shows the first communities in Central and South America were descended from the first inhabitants of North America. But DNA...

Bits of genetic material in rivers make it possible to detect the organisms living in them – without having to collect these and examine...

UNSW Sydney scientists are part of a collaboration to pioneer detailed research into genetic factors that contribute to good health or disease in the...

The DNA within our cells is an almost two-metre string of information, stored in a nucleus of only a few micrometres large. The information within those...

Biological physicists at Rice University have a new cellular mechanics theory that rings true. The Rice lab of José Onuchic has determined the structure of...

A simple modification of a DNA base in small areas of the genome may explain why glioblastoma tumors are so deadly, researchers at Yale and...

New research shows that a powerful antioxidant may be just as useful one day protecting beachgoers and cancer patients from radioactive rays as it...

At the cutting edge of modern science, DNA sequencing promises to transform many aspects of human life. It’s already playing a significant role in...

McGill University marine ecologist Jennifer Sunday is bringing cutting-edge DNA analysis to the formidable task of tracking ocean species along Canada’s Pacific coast. As marine organisms move...

One afternoon in July, deep within the labyrinthine halls of the Medical Sciences Building at UC San Francisco’s hilltop campus on Parnassus Avenue, the...

· A large DNA fragment from a soil bacterium was captured and engineered to be awoken · The researchers then used to trigger production of...

At a depth of 15 metres, 5 km off the coast, a contraption most of all resembling a big oil barrel is currently collecting...

This week at ITF Health 2018, imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, showcases elPrep 4.0, a powerful software...

ETH researchers studying yeast cells have discovered a surprisingly located new mechanism for detecting foreign genetic material – whether from pathogens or environmental contamination...
