A team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms. This technique is indistinguishable from natural variation and enabled the researchers to ...

April 25 is International DNA Day, and it marks the completion of a decade-long project to sequence the DNA of Hong Kong's ...

UT researchers have created an alternative to Edman degradation for protein sequencing using bases instead of acid ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred ...

DNA is often seen as the blueprint of life—carrying the code to govern the development and traits of an organism—but “there ...

is a form of immunity in bacteria, camouflaging their genome from enzymes that degrade foreign sequences by adding a methyl chemical group to target locations. It is one of the three known DNA ...

The technical challenge was there was still no accurate DNA sequence of a dire wolf. A 2021 effort to obtain DNA from old bones had yielded only a tiny amount, not enough to accurately decode the ...

This pathway, or others like it, could explain why some inheritable traits between generations can’t be explained exclusively via DNA and RNA. "There are a lot of traits and disorders that we ...

The centromere mainly strengthens one of the two paths of force transduction, influenced by the centromeric DNA sequence. The mechanism underlying ... prior to elution in order to remove co-purifying ...

A revolution is underway in gene editing -- and at its forefront is David Liu, an American molecular biologist whose pioneering work is rewriting the building blocks of life with unprecedented ...
