Researchers find obelisks, mysterious RNA molecules in human bacteria that challenge our understanding of viruses and ...
A new CRISPR-based approach for tuning gene expression up and down allowed identification of how other genes' expression responds to changes of transcription factors.
Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The discovery came from studying tiny molecular messages ...
Once considered passive messengers of genetic information, RNA molecules are now understood to play an active and dynamic role in gene regulation, modulated by a rich layer of chemical modifications ...
The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...
We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...
German CDMO BioSpring is building a new production facility that it hopes will become one of the world's biggest manufacturing sites for DNA- and RNA-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The ...
