AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

Fixing gene defects with designer DNA is on the horizon after Google DeepMind launched a pioneering new AI tool.

In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “The reference genome of the human diploid cell line RPE-1,” researchers from University of Rome La Sapienza have produced the first reference ...

A groundbreaking new treatment using genome-edited immune cells, developed by scientists at UCL (University College London) and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), has shown promising results in ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...
