A new study conducted by scientists at the University of Sheffield in collaboration with researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center in the U.S. has found a protein that could help guide which ...

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

Before testing new therapies in animals, researchers now have a more efficient starting point—lab-grown canine muscle cells that can help identify what works and what doesn't. Developed at the Texas A ...

Scientists have created a programmable drug system that can zero in on cancer cells with unprecedented accuracy. Built from synthetic DNA, it only activates when it detects a precise combination of ...

The breakthrough could reveal previously hidden ancient human activity inside caves, acting as ‘genetic archives’ ...

South Carolina prosecutors oppose Alex Murdaugh's push for independent DNA testing of evidence found under Maggie Murdaugh's ...

Base editing, the process used to make the changes, only nicks one strand of DNA, avoiding the major DNA errors that made ...

In 2020, Jennifer Doudna won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work on the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely modify DNA by cutting it at specific locations.

DNA from an unknown male was found under Maggie Murdaugh's nails, and Alex Murdaugh's lawyers want to test it to find out ...
