Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A ...

A solid-phase DNA-encoded library (DEL) was studied for binding the RNA repeat expansion r(CUG)exp, the causative agent of the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy ...

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington's disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...

We describe an automated system for high-resolution profiling of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) based upon multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by desolvation and direct analysis ...

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body's ...

Scientists have discovered Sukunaarchaeum mirabile, a unique archaeon residing within marine plankton, challenging traditional definitions of life. Th ...
