Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Despite the immense amount of genetic material present in each cell, around 3 billion base pairs in humans, this material needs to be accurately divided in two and allocated in equal quantities. The ...

In a first, scientists have extracted DNA from a Renaissance-era drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but they can't be ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

ELF3 axis enables luminal progenitor transformation in BRCA1-deficient breast cancer by reducing genomic instability and promoting progenitor identity.

Researchers have developed a new computational approach that uncovers possible drugs for specific cellular targets for ...

Researchers have developed a new computational approach that uncovers possible drugs for specific cellular targets for treating glioblastoma, a lethal brain tumor.  This approach enabled them to ...

AI can now create genome viruses in laboratories and redesign toxins to evade controls, raising biosafety alert and rise of ...

Abstract: As the global economy develops and people's awareness of environmental protection increases, the efficient scheduling of production lines in workshops has received more and more attention.

Structural variations (SVs), including insertions, deletions, inversions, and substitutions, can profoundly influence gene ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.

Researchers have uncovered nearly 150 hidden DNA “switches” inside brain support cells that control the activity of genes ...
