A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells.

More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...

An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. The research is published in the journal Nature. The ...

Plants are usually seen as stationary life forms, quietly supporting environments. But plant communities and populations are ...

While tools like CRISPR have blown the field of genome hacking wide open, being able to predict what will happen when you tinker with the code underlying the living things on our planet is still ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in synthetic DNA. The idea is simple but powerful—DNA is one of the most ...
