A bizarre genetic code found in a microscopic pond organism is rewriting what scientists thought DNA could do
In a shallow pond at Oxford University Parks, surrounded by dog walkers and rowing crews, a single-celled organism has been ...
DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...
How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...
Epigenome editing has followed a similar path, in that more recent technological breakthroughs have enabled scientists to apply the discoveries made in previous decades. Epigenome editing performs a ...
A newly discovered protein from Earth’s toughest animal is inspiring breakthrough therapies for cancer and cardiovascular disease. In 2016, researchers uncovered one of the tardigrade’s secrets: a ...
Progeria is a genetic condition that involves accelerated aging. Patients develop wrinkled skin, hair loss, and bone and joint stiffness from a very early age. One of the more unusual forms of this ...
