A new method for recognizing and targeting DNA that dramatically expands the range of genetic sequences scientists can identify has been developed by experts at the University of Portsmouth. Published ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes an organism's genetic blueprint. In other words, DNA contains all of the information required to build and maintain an organism. DNA was ...

Scientists have engineered a nanoscale switch using DNA "origami." Inspired by macroscale mechanical switches, the device achieves long-term functionality without the continuous forcing mechanism that ...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) pose an acute threat to the survival of all cells. There are two major pathways of DSB repair — homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). In ...

The DNA repair system has evolved to maintain genome integrity. DNA damage may arise from both endogenous (i.e., DNA replication and recombination errors) and exogenous sources (i.e., UV, ionizing ...

Scientists have created a silicon chip that can write dozens of DNA sequences simultaneously using electricity and ...

Accurate RNA splicing is essential for gene expression and human health, yet predicting how DNA sequence variations affect ...

The proposed OMB changes to research funding threaten US science. Researchers must stand up for and share the value of science to society.
