Using a new technology and computational method, researchers from Fred Hutch Cancer Center and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have uncovered a biomarker capable of accurately ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

The research shows that as long as essential genes remain intact, our genomes can tolerate significant structural changes, ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

Not only does Bennu contain evidence of ancient pools of liquid water — it also carries minerals crucial to life, amino acids, and the five nucleobases for DNA and RNA. As asteroids crash into ...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission found ingredients for DNA and RNA on the asteroid Bennu ... So, not only did the asteroid carry the basic elements for life, it also had a watery environment to help ...
