EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...

First came AlphaFold. Now comes AlphaGenome for DNA. When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t ...

The human genome and its DNA are often presented in a single dimension in biology textbooks and educational materials. While introducing DNA as a linear sequence that produces genes can help students ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and accessed?

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

Outside her cabin in northern Belize, Elizabeth Clare, a biodiversity scientist at York University, walks along a path. Everywhere she looks, it's teeming with life. "There's hibiscus flowers over ...
