Mixing RNA and DNA to study how life began on Earth
RNA and DNA could have appeared simultaneously instead of the widely accepted RNA World theory.
High-precision technique stores cellular ‘memory’ in DNA
Engineers program human and bacterial cells to keep a record of complex molecular events.
Key phosphorus-based molecule for life on Earth may have come from space
The study suggests that phosphorus-based molecule of extraterrestrial origin and was delivered to Earth on the Murchison meteorite.
New technique can find deletions and duplications in the human genome
Copy number variants (CNVs) are a noteworthy reason for a few genetic disorders, making their identification an essential segment of genetic analysis pipelines. Current...
Researchers store digital images inside molecular thumb drive
Scientists at Brown University have taken a step forward toward storing huge amounts of data in molecular storage systems. The study has shown that...
New method to improve match between DNA sample to a face database
While predicting what someone's face looks like based on a DNA sample remains extremely problematic, it is getting easier to filter the right face...
Catch a virus by the tail
Some RNA viruses such as Segmented negative-sense (SNS) RNA viruses initiate infection by delivering into cells a suite of genomic RNA segments, each sheathed...
Study reveals key step in cell protein production from genes
DNA is the information molecule. It stores instructions for making other large molecules, called proteins. These instructions are stored inside each of your cells,...
Scientists created world’s first living organism with fully redesigned DNA
Scientists at Cambridge University have created the world’s first living organism that has a fully synthetic and radically altered DNA code.
They have replaced the...
