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

Collaborating researchers have made a breakthrough discovery regarding the intricate defense systems of bacteriophages ...

DNA phosphorothioate modification is a distinctive epigenetic alteration in which a non‐bridging oxygen atom within the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

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 new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin - DNA and proteins - plays a critical role.

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

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

DNA is often seen as the blueprint of life—carrying the code to govern the development and traits of an organism—but “there are things beyond the DNA sequence,” says Xiaoqi Feng, a plant geneticist at ...

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 ...
