Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have reconciled two closely related but contentious mechanisms underlying ...

The Synthetic Human Genome, or Syn HG, a project launched on June 26th, aims to change that. Funded partly by Wellcome, a ...

Scientists have for the first time sequenced the most complete and oldest ancient Egyptian genome ever found—unlocking new ...

By tracking the movement of RNA molecules inside the nucleolus using advanced imaging and genomics techniques, the new method ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

An experimental rationalization of the structure type encountered in DNA and RNA by systematically investigating the chemical and physical properties of alternative nucleic acids has identified ...

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs). In most cases, HPV DNA is integrated into the human genome. We found that tumor-specific, HPV-human DNA junctions are ...

A forensic scientist crouches down on a dirty factory floor. There’s a pool of blood, and they delicately dip a swab into it ...

In this study, we investigate the effect of nucleotide content on the conductivity of plasmid length DNA molecular wires covalently bound to high aspect-ratio gold electrodes. The DNA wires were all ...

A major global study tested whether European-derived polygenic risk scores (PGS) for Alzheimer’s disease can predict risk ...

The prediction of RNA three-dimensional structure from sequence alone has been a long-standing goal. High-resolution, experimentally determined structures of simple noncanonical pairings and motifs ...
