For decades, gene-editing science has been limited to making small, precise edits to human DNA, akin to correcting typos in ...

IGF2BP3 links cancer metabolism and RNA control, offering a potential new therapeutic target for blocking leukemia cell growth.

A new resource from the Gene Ontology Consortium, a comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes, has been completed and released on a new website. For the first ...

RNA molecules are an integral part of the human body: In cells, they ensure the transfer of genetic information and regulate the activity of genes. Some even act as catalysts, allowing chemical ...

Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres - regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure - protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...

Scientists utilize logic gate-based decision-making to construct circuits that control genes. Guides typically assist tourists with directions, but the experience could be greatly enhanced if they ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Human Genome Project, a monumental scientific achievement that has transformed healthcare and laid the foundation for modern genomics.

Peking University, June 27, 2025: To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University ...
