For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

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 ...

One person's junk is another's treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of "junk" DNA that were written off as having no useful function are actually pretty important ...

Gene syntax alters DNA supercoiling to amplify or suppress nearby genes. This could improve the effectiveness of gene ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way large language models like ChatGPT read text. Scanning the genome for ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...
