The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

Researchers have deciphered the process by which the influenza virus steals the cap of the host RNA to replicate.

Called “Lamarckian Inheritance,” the theory suggests that those experiences can even be passed down to future generations.

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression.

According to this model, sigma (σ) factors bind to RNA polymerase to initiate transcription—the process by which genetic information is copied from DNA to RNA—and then detach after initiation to allow ...

I used Wisdom Panel and Basepaws DNA tests on my rescue pup to see if they could uncover his true breed mix. Corin Cesaric is a Flex Editor at CNET. She received her bachelor's degree in journalism ...

U.S. Fast Track designation of ART6043 underpinned by promising clinical data to date and high unmet need in gBRCA-mutated ...

Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial ...

Scientists have created more complex DNA that still works — expanding life’s basic blueprint beyond what nature uses. In this video, we break down what they changed, how the modified DNA can still ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
