Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Restricted access to genome-editing technologies poses serious challenges for countries like India that urgently need such ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: DNA-based data storage has emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional media due to its ultra-high information density and long-term stability. However, the high read cost caused by ...

Blake has over a decade of experience writing for the web, with a focus on mobile phones, where he covered the smartphone boom of the 2010s and the broader tech scene. When he's not in front of a ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current genetic research. Because .

Most of our DNA doesn’t code for genes but instead acts as switches that control how genes are used. Researchers have now mapped hundreds of these switches in astrocytes and found many that regulate ...
