Researchers have created a detailed map of chemical modifications to DNA that occur in the human brain from the earliest ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

Michael Buck, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School, recently received NIH funding to explore how molecular readers of DNA access and activate seemingly hidden genes.

Collaborating researchers have made a breakthrough discovery regarding the intricate defense systems of bacteriophages (phages)—viruses that can specifically target harmful bacteria without harming ...

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

DNA has tremendous potential as a data storage medium, but the process of synthesizing DNA from scratch is time-consuming. It has to be done one nucleotide at a time in a specific sequence. New ...

A study reveals how RNA modifications regulate the transformation of stem cells into retinal cells. The protein METTL3, which ...

The goal of gene therapy is to permanently cure hereditary diseases. One of the most promising technologies for this is the ...

A new method to study specific changes in DNA after replication has been published as a technical report in Nature Cell Biology. Researchers developed a highly sensitive, quantitative mass ...

In a January Science magazine story about his work, the word "heretic" is splashed in teal letters across the page. On those pages and elsewhere, he's been called a "maverick" and a "pioneer," winning ...

Researchers have developed a method for classifying difficult-to-diagnose nasal cavity tumors. Researchers at LMU and Charité hospital in Berlin have developed a method for classifying ...
