Researchers have developed a new approach that uses synthetic DNA molecules to target cancer-linked genes directly, opening ...

The research team used high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), a technique that uses an extremely fine probe to follow movements and structural changes at the nanometre scale. Unlike conventional ...

Segments of DNA that copy themselves around the genome may have helped ants diversify after the mass extinction that ended ...

DNA traces in the Shroud of Turin reveal a remarkable mixture of human lineages, microbes, plants, animals, and coral accumulated through centuries of handling and travel. The findings do not prove ...

Creating synthetic DNA is essential for developing vaccines, advancing gene therapy, and building out biotechnologies like DNA storage, but the process is complicated and chemically intensive. A new ...

Scientists have discovered that a drug originally developed for spinal cord injuries can tackle several key features of Alzheimer’s disease, including DNA damage and inflammation. Already tested for ...

In the never-ending battle between bacteria and viruses, both sides devise devious strategies to thwart the other. In a new study, scientists analyzed one such strategy used by the bacterium ...

If you think archaeologists need actual bones or teeth to uncover the secrets of ancient humans, you may have to check that ...
