Cryo-EM revealed HIV-1 integrase’s distinct structures as it shifts between its two roles of DNA integration and RNA-binding.

In 2010, researchers in northeastern Siberia stumbled upon a genetic goldmine: the remarkably well-preserved remains of a juvenile woolly mammoth. The animal, named Yuka, died nearly 39,000 years ago, ...

Blood samples from warm vs. cold Greenland bears reveal genetic patterns that could predict how polar bears respond to ...

Technologies needed for tracing engineered biothreats back to their sources are advancing rapidly. Here are some ...

The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...

This study provides useful insights into addressing the question of whether the prevalence of autoimmune disease could be driven by sex differences in the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, correlating ...

Technical advances allow researchers to trace the genetic changes that occur over time. “There were some cells in there that were very messed up,” says Joe Luquette, who studies bioinformatics at ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, affecting about 1 in 8,000 people.

Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. , a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced positive topline results from the investigator-initiated Phase 2/3 STS-J01 clinical trial evaluating PEDMARK® (sodium ...

The Oxford Student discusses a potential new gene therapy that shows promise in treating Huntington's disease.

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, ...
