Recent scientific breakthroughs have transformed the once-dismissed non-coding DNA, or “junk DNA,” into a targeted weapon ...

Led by biomedical engineer Vadim Backman, the study reveals that DNA’s 3D physical structure holds a “geometric code” — a system that allows cells to compute, remember and adapt.

HUMANS could live for centuries after scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal. The bowhead whale that can live for more than 200 years could hold the key to prolonging ...

Cannabis use may leave lasting fingerprints on the human body, a study of over 1,000 adults published in 2023 suggests – not ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these sequences, we could unlock how cells and organisms fundamentally work. Now, research from Northwestern Engineering ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink, ...

The Fast-Twitch Gene You Didn't Know You Had Your DNA might be giving you an edge or could be holding you back. The ACTN3 ...
