Two miles beneath the Pacific Ocean, on a rocky outcrop off the coast of Alaska, a remotely operated vehicle’s camera locked ...

Most fat stores energy; the body's brown fat does the opposite. Unlike the white fat that accumulates just under our skin, ...

With a few chemical tweaks and some dutiful protein partners, a new biotech from Flagship Pioneering thinks it has cracked ...

Advances in DNA sequencing technology help forensic biologists identify suspects where traditional DNA profiling has failed, ...

While extracellular DNA persistence substantially influences soil microbiome investigations, its degradation kinetics remain poorly quantified. Here, we developed a primer-labeled DNA approach coupled ...

Scientist warns traditional identification risks, backs DNA reliability, flags limited capacity and poor evidence handling ...

Clues to the genetic code’s origin may be hidden in tiny protein fragments, revealing a synchronized and highly structured ...

A recent study examined how gene variants inherited from Neanderthals can affect the way some modern humans process medications. The transcript focuses on variants of CYP2C9 and CYP2C8, enzymes ...

CRISPR Cas9 genome editing has transformed the way scientists approach gene therapy, acting like precise DNA scissors that can target and repair hereditary diseases at the genetic level. This ...

A DNA-based barcoding assay can now quantify, in living mice, how much genetic cargo escapes cellular disposal versus how much is degraded. Measurements from the assay guided the design of lipid ...

Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.

Australian scientists have discovered that DNA barcoding can be used to track cancer cells in solid and liquid biopsies, empowering future research into more reliable breast cancer diagnosis and ...
