Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug ...

Scientists at NUS have found that DNA’s phosphate groups can guide chemical reactions like molecular “hands.” Chemists at the ...

King’s College London researchers discovered that parts of our DNA once thought to be “junk” can actually help destroy cancer ...

Around 8 percent of human DNA is made up of genetic sequences acquired from ancient viruses. These sequences, known as human endogenous retroviruses (or Hervs), date back hundreds of thousands to ...

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

Using multiple sequencing technologies to analyze the genetics of a four-generation family allowed researchers to see how human DNA changes over time. Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is ...

The project, called BIOFAB: International Open Facility Advancing Biotechnology -- or just BIOFAB for short -- aims to boost the ease of bioengineering with "biological parts" that are shared ...

It's a little like "Pimp My Ride," Synthetic Biology Edition - just replace the wrecked car with a living cell and tricked-out gadgets with strings of DNA, and the reality TV show becomes the annual ...
