Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method - CRISPR - sometimes does more harm ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...

Phoenix police used a national DNA database to arrest a man linked to multiple kidnapping and sexual assault cases dating back 27 years. Abraham Ramirez, 54, was recently arrested in connection with ...

There is no certainty that the buyout will come to pass, according to The Financial Times, which first reported the rumors. Novartis has approached rare disease-focused Avidity Biosciences with an ...

One person's junk is another's treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of "junk" DNA in the human genome that were previously written off as having no useful function are ...

The puzzle seems impossible: take a three-billion-letter code and predict what happens if you swap a single letter. The code we’re talking about—the human genome—stores most of its instructions in ...

For decades, the central dogma of molecular biology—DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease. This model explained ...
