This mini-review synthesises evidence showing that adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing plays an important regulatory role in cardiovascular development, cellular homeostasis, and disease biology. It ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists closer than ever to demonstrating how life could have emerged from chemistry ...

A new study suggests that an AI-assisted blood test, which measures for biomarkers, could help to identify prediabetes risk earlier.

Abstract: The development of next-generation sequencing technologies has resulted in exponential growth in sequence data. Global or local, pairwise or multiple sequence alignment was the foundation of ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms.

Billions of American chestnut trees once covered the eastern United States. A new study out Thursday in the journal Science provides hope for its revitalization, finding that the genetic testing of ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...

Rutgers Develops New Tool for Examining Cancer Genomic Data that Could Improve Treatment When scientists sequence tumor DNA, ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
