The tool helps scientists understand how single-letter mutations and distant DNA regions influence gene activity, shaping ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...

A team of researchers has announced the discovery of a unique DNA nanostructure that appears to be common across all types of ...

Irvine, Calif., Dec. 3, 2024 – A research team co-led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered that accumulated DNA damage in the retina is a key contributor to age-related macular ...

(Phys.org) -- New research findings show that embryonic stem cells unable to fully compact the DNA inside them cannot complete their primary task: differentiation into specific cell types that give ...

Figure 1. DNA methylation clock estimates vary across tissue types. The distributions of estimates for age and six clocks are color coded by tissue type. For each clock, tissue types are ranked by ...

A research team has discovered that accumulated DNA damage in the retina is a key contributor to age-related macular degeneration and that targeting specific retinal cell types may lead to treatments ...

A recent article in Small describes a modular platform for assembling protein-DNA composites using covalent, site-specific conjugation. This method enables the formation of stable structures with ...
