A new nanodisc-based platform lets scientists study viral proteins in a form that closely mimics real viruses, revealing how ...

Engineered cells are a high-value genetic asset that is key to many fields, including biotechnology, medicine, aging, and ...

As climate change outpaces the ability of ecosystems to adapt, scientists are turning to conservation genomics to guide ...

The collaboration pairs Mimulus's molecular architecture with GenScript's massive synthesis scale to liberate critical grid power for AI compute and launch the "Forever Archive" for enterprise data ...

Researchers are working on new, faster ways to diagnosis bird flu and other dangerous influenza strains before they can erupt into a full-fledged pandemic. Avian flu, or H5N1, does not spread easily ...

A cheap home DNA kit seemed like a bit of fun – until the results exposed hidden ancestry and a family secret no one had prepared for.

DNA, long known as the molecule that carries genetic information, is taking on a new role in science. Researchers now see it as a powerful building material for machines so small they operate at the ...

Over 50 years ago, a baby was found in a black trash bag inside a Columbus County landfill. For decades, the baby went by “Baby Doe” and remained unidentified. That all changed this week when advanced ...

VALLEY COUNTY, IDAHO, Idaho — A decades-old sexual assault cold case has been solved with the help of advanced DNA analysis, according to the Valley County Sheriff's Office (VCSO). The victim reported ...

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilized egg as a structural "blank slate"—a disordered tangle of DNA waiting for the embryo to wake up and start reading its own genetic ...

An early Drosophila embryo captured during a wave of nuclear division. Dividing nuclei (blue) and non-dividing nuclei (pink) illustrate the rapid, highly organised nature of early development and the ...
