Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...

I married a tall woman out of love, partly from genetic ambition. I figured we’d gift our kids a vertical advantage. It turns out that Mother Nature and Friar Mendel’s peas don’t translate into ...

In support of its reduction-to-practice date, UC presented evidence indicating a successful result of eukaryotic gene editing.

For the first time, doctors have created a customized treatment using the revolutionary gene-editing technique known as CRISPR to treat a baby with a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder.

However, once the average gene length reaches 1,500 nucleotides, the proteins decouple from the multiplicative process of gene growth, and the average protein length stabilizes after the onset of ...

Most people have a favorite Gene Hackman performance. I have two. The actor, a chameleonic everyman with a movie star’s charisma, was found dead Wednesday with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and their ...

Gene Hackman was cinema’s greatest average schmo The everyman actor with movie star charisma shined brightest in “The Conversation" and “Hoosiers.” ...

Others allow a single gene to churn out multiple versions of a protein. “These features underpin the emergence of multicellularity, sophisticated traits, and intelligent behaviors that are unique to ...

The preprint also presented a workflow for “generative epigenomics,” which designed DNA sequences with desirable chromatin accessibility profiles to simulate eukaryotic gene regulation.

But the typical way researchers use CRISPR—injecting many tiny, individual embryos with a gene-editing molecular reagent—can be challenging, time consuming, or costly, especially if a lab is working ...

Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Scientists created the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome from S. cerevisiae and a new-to-nature tRNA neochromosome ...
