Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Your next favorite true crime podcast might have some new forensics jargon to make sense of. Researchers in Australia have developed a new way to identify humans – similar to how we do with DNA and ...

Innovative research into the gene-editing tool targets influenza’s ability to replicate—stopping it in its tracks.

Researchers reveal structure of ancient viral protein appearing in breast cancer, lupus, and ALS, opening new paths for ...

Researchers have uncovered nearly 150 hidden DNA “switches” inside brain support cells that control the activity of genes ...

A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

This valuable study identifies a novel regulator of stress-induced gene quiescence in C. elegans: the multi-Zinc-finger protein ZNF-236. The work provides evidence for an active mechanism that ...

Microbiologists have long known that ancient, inactive viruses known as cryptic prophages can insert their genetic material into bacterial DNA. These genetic fragments allow bacteria to use ...

WIRED spoke with DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli about the recent past—and promising future—of the Nobel Prize-winning research ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...
