In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

Tunable DNA hairpin springs stretch millions of protein copies under piconewton tension, enabling bulk biochemical discovery of binding partners invisible to single-molecule techniques.

During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology (BIOL), Wei Sun, a chemical biologist at Virginia Tech, presented a click chemistry–based method of protein-RNA ...

Although DNA evidence collected in the Nancy Guthrie investigation has yet to yield matches, law enforcement is still bracing for results that could expose cracks in the southern Arizona case ...

TUCSON, Ariz. — As the Nancy Guthrie case enters week three, investigators and the public are awaiting potentially pivotal DNA results tied to a glove recovered near the scene. But according to ...

According to the RNA world hypothesis, life began when RNA molecules evolved the ability to make more copies of themselves. Now we have discovered an RNA molecule that is almost capable of this – it ...

The Athletic has live coverage of transfer deadline day. Crystal Palace are close to reaching a verbal agreement to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Palace want to strengthen ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Researchers suggest that they have recovered sequences from ancient works and from letters that may belong to the Renaissance genius. Historical artifacts can accumulate DNA from the environment and ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

Medical scientist Eduardo Marbán – then at Johns Hopkins and now Cedars-Sinai – found that heart progenitor cells also have a special mechanism where they send out sacs, known as exosomes, which carry ...
