Biologists are quietly rewriting what it means to be alive, and the human body has become one of their strangest frontiers.

This research team at the LSU AgCenter is racing against extreme weather disasters to advance genetic storage technology and ...

At the core of every AI coding agent is a technology called a large language model (LLM), which is a type of neural network ...

But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...

A small group of volunteers will receive multiple injections of the experimental treatments next month, says Unlimited Bio.

A US clinic is offering would-be parents the chance to select traits like height and intelligence to "genetically optimise" their future babies on top of the usual screenings for hereditary diseases.

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

DNA is the blueprint of life, but how much do you know about it?Dr_Microbe DNA serves as the blueprint of life for every species. We already know a good deal about DNA and how genetics works. But here ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
