Visualize, if you will, a group of bacteria cells. They are kind of silly looking, when you get right down to it: shaped like a sphere or a pill, sometimes covered in tiny hairs or spikes. While ...

A study led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine has found that children with aggressive types of blood cancers are different, not only in the DNA code of their blood cells, but in the ...

From the what-could-possibly-go-wrong department: Scientists have now managed to write executable code into DNA that is theoretically capable of infecting the computer that reads it. It was only a ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In Overmatched, we take a close look at the science and technology ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal, the bowhead whale, revealing a mechanism that could potentially prolong the human lifespan by ...

The University of California San Diego researchers used artificial intelligence to identify a DNA activation code, which was previously known to be "an enigma," but can later be utilized in n ...

Our DNA is very similar to that of the chimpanzee, which in evolutionary terms is our closest living relative. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now found a previously overlooked ...

Hereditary information is passed from parent to offspring in the genetic code, DNA, and epigenetically through chemically induced modifications around the DNA. New research has uncovered a mechanism ...

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, the molecule that carries the genetic code of all living things. It’s found in every cell and determines everything from your looks to your body functions. In ...
