When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

Recombinant DNA technologies developed in the early 1970s enabled scientists to isolate genes of interest and splice them into existing DNA structures. However, as late as the early 1980s, the ...

As chromosomes go, X and Y make an unlikely pair. The X is large and contains thousands of genes critical for life. The Y, by contrast, is little more than a nub. Its main purpose is to provide the ...

The DNA of all organisms, be it bacteria or humans, is constantly bombarded with damage either by environmental mutagens such as the exposure to UV light or because of erroneous replication. The ...

Precision gene editing is crucial for treating genetic diseases, as it enables targeted correction of specific mutations. A Korean research team has become the first in the world to significantly ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. In a series of experiments between ...

Scientists have engineered a new mouse model that reveals how Opn3—a little-known blue light-sensitive protein—affects body ...
