Researchers uncovered how ants keep their powerful sense of smell clear: by using a genetic safeguard that silences surrounding receptor genes. This discovery not only solves a decades-old puzzle but ...
Scientists have turned an old idea on its head. A new paper reports that stretches of so-called “junk DNA” can help injured ...
A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new ...
The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just ...
Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method - CRISPR - sometimes does more harm ...
A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new way to fine-tune genetic material. Their study, published in Nature ...
MIT researchers have dramatically lowered the error rate of prime editing, a genome-editing technique based on CRISPR. This advance could make it easier to develop gene therapy treatments for a ...
Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make ...
Researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at Heidelberg University Hospital have decoded a previously ...
