While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses ...

This important theoretical study examines the possibility of encoding genomic information in a collective of short overlapping strands (e.g., the Virtual Circular Genome (VCG) model). The study ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park ...

They also help ensure the accurate copying of DNA during cell replication. This DNA is grouped into segments called genes. Your genes determine your traits, which can range from the smallest ...

In April 2022, the Detroit Police Department teamed up with Othram to conduct advanced DNA testing, leading to the woman's identification as Washington, per the release. Officials said she was ...

The current human tissue-based study provides convincing evidence correlating hippocampal expressions of RNA guanine-rich G-quadruplexes with aging and with Alzheimer's Disease presence and severity.

The suspect, a man from Vancouver, British Columbia, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after advanced DNA testing helped authorities link him to the crime. Lawrence Diehl ...

That conflicts a bit with his recent statements. In an interview this week, Altman said that, before OpenAI releases new reasoning models, he’d prefer a federal testing framework to guide ...
