What naked mole-rats lack in the looks department they make up for it in longevity, living healthily for nearly four decades.
Faulty versions of the LMNA gene can cause a wide range of health problems, including heart muscle disease (dilated ...
A new study of the bizarre naked mole rat shows that the animals have evolved a DNA repair mechanism that could explain their ...
CRISPR-based tools can’t easily access the DNA in these organelles, but researchers are finding other ways in.
MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we ...
Through DNA origami, oligonucleotides form complex nanostructures, driving advancements in nanotechnology and offering ...
REPAIRome specifically addresses the repair of one of the most serious types of DNA damage, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
Researchers at Spain’s CNIO have mapped 20,000 distinct DNA repair “scars,” building the first human REPAIRome. This atlas ...
Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...
An incredible genetic analysis reveals that a lungfish has a larger genome than a human. We explore what this means.
