DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

Discover how RNA therapeutics are reshaping medicine, offering new treatments for previously undruggable targets.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...

RNA therapeutics have existed since the late 90s but have only come into focus in the last few years. This renewed interest has largely been attributed to the success of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

Imagine walking into your kitchen and instantly knowing if the fish you bought yesterday is still fresh—or entering an industrial site with sensors that immediately alert you to hazardous gas leaks.

Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a new function of the DNA repair protein ATR in regulating ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising role for calcium in shaping the building blocks of life. Their study reveals that calcium ions help determine the molecular 'handedness' (chirality) of tartaric ...

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo has uncovered a ...

Backbone has joined forces with Microsoft to launch the Backbone One: Xbox Edition – a transparent green take on its popular mobile controller inspired by the iconic Halo collector’s edition ...
