What better way to celebrate DNA Day than to get up close and personal with the four letter code with trillion dollar potential? And a startup that may have a key to unlock it. “Elegen is going to ...

The discovery of Hoogsteen base pairs, an alternative pairing mode to the canonical Watson–Crick structure, has significantly broadened our understanding of DNA dynamics. This conformation, in which ...

Scientists have for the first time been able to build a organism containing a new, synthetic pair of DNA units, marking a breakthrough in the field of synthetic biology that has major implications for ...

A method long considered the gold standard in genetic mutation discovery now faces stiff competition from a relatively new approach that’s helping increase the rate at which genetic disorders are ...

Two teams of researchers have uncovered microscopic details of how a protein called photolyase uses light to repair DNA. The discovery could help develop sustainable technologies for chemical ...
