Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all without editing or altering the cell’s genome. The system, published in Nature ...

Researchers developed a retron-based system that enables DNA to function as an active intracellular tool rather than merely ...

POSTECH develops a platform for precise cellular control using "non-genetic DNA" decoupled from genetic information.

Once physical security measures are circumvented, there are no measures in place to protect cells from theft, abuse, or unauthorized use.

Advances in genetic engineering, especially tools like CRISPR, are allowing scientists to edit DNA with a level of precision ...

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

Scientists from the University of Sheffield, the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have helped solve a decade-long ...

Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic "blueprint," DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active "field agent" within ...

A mystery surrounding why powerful gene-editing technology that has driven major advances in medicine over the past decade can sometimes make mistakes, has been solved with the help of scientists from ...

Two research teams mined genomic data from bacteria to create databases containing thousands of antiviral defence proteins ...

In their landmark 1961 paper on the lac operon, Nobel laureates François Jacob and Jacques Monod speculated that RNA might control gene activity in bacteria through base-pairing interactions. But once ...
