Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level. The movie ...

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?

This study provides compelling evidence that kinesin's stepping mechanism is governed by strain-induced conformational changes in its nucleotide-binding pockets. Using pre-steady state kinetics and ...

MAIA Biotechnology, Inc., ("MAIA", the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer, today announced that the United States Adopted Names (USAN ...

Evo 2 employs AI to detect patterns in DNA sequences and predict the next nucleotide in a chain, effectively enabling it to "write" new genetic code. One of Evo 2’s key advantages is its ability to ...

The small study in patients with a rare disorder that causes liver and lung damage showed the potential for precisely targeted infusions. By Gina Kolata Researchers have corrected a disease ...

THE theory of genetic recombination by the formation of hybrid DNA 1 postulates that a recombinational event involves breakage of single DNA nucleotide chains (primary breaks), and rejoining by ...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was isolated, amplified, and analyzed for variations in MT-CO1, MT-CO2, and MT-CO3 genes. Polymerase chain reaction ... revealed 23 single nucleotide polymorphisms ...

Cosmic rays from a nearby supernova would soon rain down on the unsuspecting cichlids, tearing apart their DNA, causing the fish to mutate and opening the door for myriad viruses to infect their ...

Scientists found that rapidly evolving DNA regions, known as human accelerated regions (HARs), help human neurons form complex networks, contributing to higher brain function but possibly increasing ...

A motorcycle’s chain and sprockets may, at first glance, seem like slightly old-fashioned bicycle technology but are actually one of the most sophisticated bits of kit on your bike. There are O ...
