A study reveals how the essential red blood cell transcription factor KLF1 recognizes DNA. Using precise measurements in test ...

Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases—a task once thought too ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

New whole-genome sequencing data reveals how strongly DNA shapes everyday traits, closing the long-standing gap in ...
