Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like ...
Explore CRISPR technology explained, gene editing science, DNA modification, and genetic engineering ethics—discover how ...
Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...
Researchers have discovered a plausible evolutionary setting in which nucleic acids—the fundamental genetic building blocks of life—could enable their own replication, possibly leading to life on ...
On November 13, 2025, Google users in India were greeted with a smart twist when Google’s iconic logo had transformed into a ...

A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...
The cohesin subunit Scc1 returns and reconstitutes the complex with Smc1–Smc3 in late mitosis upon DNA double-strand breaks, although it does not participate in homologous recombination-driven MAT ...
