Researchers from Radboud university medical center and University of Basel have discovered new genetic causes of inherited ...

Researchers led by the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel uncovered disease-causing variants in ...

New research shows how RNA, a key molecule for life, may have formed on early Earth using simple chemistry and materials delivered by asteroid impacts, linking space science with the origins of life ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

A giant impact on the early Earth could have brought the building blocks of RNA to our planet, which new research suggests ...

Ask a friend what DNA is and, chances are, they have a general idea. Seventy years after scientists discovered the two-stranded helix, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is widely understood as the keeper of ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Scientists have discovered a new CRISPR mechanism with precise activity, expanding the potential applications of the existing ...
