AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most genetic medicine uses viruses or double-stranded DNA to deliver genetic ...

A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

Finding a way to disrupt the process of RNA release by targeting asymmetric features such as the isopeptide link in Turnip Crinkle Virus could lead to new antiviral therapies or better RNA ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...
