Researchers at Cornell University have developed a safer and more precise way to study how genes function in living tissues by refining a recently developed CRISPR-based genetic technique in fruit ...

The U.S. life sciences industry entered 2026 with surprising momentum, following threats of tariffs and disrupted trade, NIH funding cuts, and a sluggish IPO market. Accounting for more than ...

DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor DNA to healthy cells.

Humans are closely related to chimpanzees and bonobos, but what are the key factors that make humans genetically different? A new study looks at the process of DNA methylation, in which chemical tags ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing the entire repair sequence as it unfolds. Instead of freezing cells at ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new picture of human origins that challenges the long-held idea of a single ancestral population in Africa. By analyzing genetic data from diverse modern African ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have uncovered key principles that govern how DNA "origami" structures fold, ...

Researchers have identified the remains of four members of a doomed 19th century expedition in the Arctic by matching DNA to the sailors’ living descendants — and solved a case of mistaken identity ...

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) continue to be a foundational platform for gene therapies, with rapid advances in vector design, analytics, and manufacturing practices. This three-part USP webinar ...
