Scientists have long known that human genes spring into action through instructions delivered by the precise order of our DNA, directed by the four different types of individual links, or "bases," ...

The University of California San Diego researchers used artificial intelligence to identify a DNA activation code, which was previously known to be "an enigma," but can later be utilized in n ...

"Upon activation, these thousands of different transcription factors bind to their own specific target DNA sequence," said Ricci. "We use these sequences as a starting point to build our new ...

Scientists describes how DNA avoids damage when exposed to UV light. Too quick for the eye to see, UV light causes an electron to be transferred from one base to another on a single DNA strand. A base ...

In a series of experiments using human cancer cell lines, scientists say they have successfully used light as a trigger to make precise cuts in genomic material rapidly, using a molecular scalpel ...

What if doctors had a remote control that they could use to steer a patient's own cells to a wound to speed up the healing process? Although such a device is still far from reality, researchers ...
