A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by ...

Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a comprehensive software suite to create accurate models of DNA in biomolecular ...

When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that protect and repair DNA in cells. If they stop functioning or there's not ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

Even before the AI boom, data centers were already consuming staggering amounts of energy and natural resources. Now, generative AI has intensified that strain, exposing just how unsustainable our ...

Most people alive today carry fragments of Neanderthal DNA in their genome. Now scientists are gaining a more intimate understanding of the ancient encounters that put it there. By Carl Zimmer One of ...

Australian scientists have discovered that DNA barcoding can be used to track cancer cells in solid and liquid biopsies, empowering future research into more reliable breast cancer diagnosis and ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would later reshape biology and our understanding of life itself. A ...

Data from a new study in mice connects unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA, to inflammation-linked premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Real-World Plasma Thymidine Kinase Activity in High-Risk and Metastatic Hormone Receptor–Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Negative Breast Cancer Treated With Cyclin-Dependent Kinase ...
