Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a ...

An enzyme called RNA polymerase "transcribes" DNA into mRNA by piecing together complementary mRNA bases along the DNA template. Once the DNA code has been transcribed into mRNA, it moves out of ...

DNA has been used for years to store data, but encoding information into the molecule is painstaking work. Now, researchers have drastically sped it up by mimicking a natural biological process ...

In a happy accident, researchers in UCSB biologist Chris Richardson's lab find a way to improve nonviral gene editing as well as a new mechanism for DNA repair ...

To do this, they cut the double helix with an enzyme and insert missing DNA, or remove extra DNA, using a template of genetic material that serves as a blueprint.

Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:APDN) ("Applied DNA" or the "Company"), a leader in PCR-based DNA technologies, today announced the completion of the buildout of its new Good Manufacturing ...

DNA Template Could Explain Evolutionary Shifts Date: June 22, 2009 Source: Baylor College of Medicine Summary: Rearrangements of all sizes in genomes, genes and exons can result from a glitch in ...

Gene editing for the development of new treatments, and for studying disease as well as normal function in humans and other organisms, may advance more quickly with a new tool for cutting larger ...

They found that in normal cells with introns in their DNA, the introns were cut out of the messenger RNA and destroyed unless a cell was starved.

Chinese and American scientists are using DNA origami technology to snuff-out cancer with microscopic precision.

Meechaiel Criner's defense has been arguing this week that a new software the Department of Public Safety used to analyze DNA evidence is not reliable.
