Scientists are researching ways to genetically modify plants and animals to be more resistant to threats like climate change.

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

The team of Professor Christof Niehrs at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) in Mainz, Germany, has discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating ...

DNA has tremendous potential as a data storage medium, but the process of synthesizing DNA from scratch is time-consuming. It has to be done one nucleotide at a time in a specific sequence. New ...

Scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) and collaborating institutions have developed a DNA-editing method that introduces small chemical modifications at ...
