Researchers sequenced the genomes of three medakas, or Japanese rice fish, which are a common model organism used for ...

Lung infections are a constant risk for people living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening genetic disorder that impairs lung function, predisposes people to persistent airway infections and ...

The software most American crime labs use to read DNA evidence carried a flaw. It let someone with the right access quietly rewrite the results, and leave almost no trace. AI made the attack easy. The ...

Forensic DNA evidence tampering is no longer theoretical: researchers showed AI-assisted code can silently alter crime-lab ...

The human genome contains more than 20,000 genes. However, at any given time and in a given cell, only a fraction are active.

In another demonstration, the researchers performed the analysis on African populations, which only received Neanderthal and ...

When a virus enters a cell, its top priority is to replicate its genome rapidly, creating new viruses to infect elsewhere.

A newly mapped step in DNA replication suggests that strand separation begins at a precise junction between two helicase ...

Researchers developed a modified DNA platform designed to reduce innate immune activation while maintaining gene expression. The approach could provide durable, redosable genetic therapies without the ...

The only mRNA-based HIV vaccine study that is actually underway in Africa is IAVI G004: a program designed by US scientists, ...

Evolution forges novelty through the repurposing of available parts. Can recently acquired parts, previously foreign to an organism, be similarly repurposed? Applying a rigorous methodology to 319 ...
