A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

A groundbreaking gene-editing method from UT Austin is changing the game for treating complex genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and Tay Sachs. Using retrons—DNA tools borrowed from ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...
