Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

Researchers have developed a new technique — volumetric DNA microscopy — that can create a spatial map of genetic sequences ...

The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA ... sequence, simply by giving it a piece of RNA to guide it in its search. When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to ...

Discover how scientists captured the action of helicases in DNA replication, revealing crucial insights into this fundamental ...

The first complete DNA methylation atlas of 39 human cell types reveals which genes can talk or are silenced, depending on whether their sequence is linked to methyl group epigenetic modification that ...

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage the DNA inside cells if they build ... Free radicals are a natural byproduct of cell metabolism, so it is not possible to avoid them entirely.

Researchers have developed a comprehensive atlas that maps DNA methylation—a critical chemical modification governing gene activity—across 39 human ...

A DNA nanomachine selectively targets skin cancer by detecting microRNA-7, activating phototherapy and releasing chemotherapy ...

We created novel artificial cells by encapsulating a riboswitch-gene fusion with wheat germ extract in liposomes. These non-living cells promoted the expression of a glowing protein encoded in the ...
