DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these ...

An editorial published in Brain Medicine reveals that many widely prescribed medications may disrupt sterol biosynthesis—an ...

Scientists found a genetic link between autism and DM1, where repeat DNA sequences disrupt brain gene splicing. This sheds ...

A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific world. Developed from a ...

The RNA cloud formed around genes regulates their readout into RNA. Triplexes help define where in the genome a cloud forms. Proteins and other fl ...

Medication-induced disruption of sterol biosynthesis poses significant risks to brain development and function. At the top ...

For the first time, Professor Veyrier and his team at INRS have discovered a family of enzymes that can cut specific sequences in single-stranded DNA. These enzymes, called site-specific ...

A form of DNA with a key role Single-stranded DNA is less common than double-stranded DNA. It is often found in some viruses and plays a key role in certain biological processes, such as cell ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...
