DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

Researchers at McGill University and the United States Forest Service have found that plants living in areas where human activity has caused population crashes carry long-lasting genetic traces of ...

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

One of the new DNA-binding proteins was tested in a medical diagnostic method known as loop-mediated isothermal amplification ...

A new study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that blood-based DNA markers known as protein epiScores can help predict which colorectal cancer patients face a higher risk of cancer ...

World Bonobo Day reminds us that one of our closest relatives lives by cooperation, not conflict, and now faces serious ...

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

Domestic pigs bred with wild boar after the nuclear disaster offer lessons in wildlife genetics and invasive species management.
