Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif ...
These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...
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 ...
Scientists have mapped how genetics and life experiences leave lasting epigenetic marks on immune cells. The discovery helps ...
Scientists now believe life began long before LUCA. Older organisms, now vanished, passed on vital genetic tools. These 'pre-LUCA' ancestors developed complex biological functions. LUCA inherited ...
Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.
Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...
Google DeepMind, the artificial intelligence subsidiary of Alphabet, has made another leap in its efforts to illuminate human biology: progress toward using AI to interpret the many still-mysterious c ...
T o make good decisions on any question the public needs to be well-informed, something not so easily accomplished in America’s schools. That is a key point made by Michael Kent, a recently retired ...
Ever notice how people prepare based on what they have witnessed? Consider car mechanics who never miss an oil change and ...
In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.
