Combining microchip engineering techniques with cutting-edge gene profiling, scientists at Columbia University have developed ...

Life on Earth may have origins from far, far away. Scientists have found a full set of life-building molecules in a nearly pristine asteroid sample, and the discovery suggests that the necessary ...

In late January, Ben and his wife Gabby were driving to their home in Northeast Minneapolis when they received a message on an activist group chat that federal immigration officers were nearby. They ...

All the essential ingredients to make the DNA and RNA underpinning life on Earth have been discovered in samples collected from the asteroid Ryugu, scientists said Monday. The discovery comes after ...

"At first, I kind of laughed … But they were serious. I could just see the seriousness in their faces." In this book excerpt, Lise Barnéoud explores the limitations of DNA testing. When you purchase ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...

Here’s what a pregnancy looks like inside a microfluidic chip. At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses gently into the receptive lining of the ...

(Top) Schematic diagram of the basic unit (Y-motif) of DNA condensates and their binding via sticky-end interaction. (Bottom) A schematic diagram illustrates how DNA condensate formation is regulated ...
