Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all without editing or altering the cell’s genome. The system, published in Nature ...

An international team of cave explorers has shown that cave walls and the prehistoric rock art that adorns them can preserve human DNA for thousands of years.

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene regulation and disease detection. The non-genetic DNA platform leverages a ...

Britain has become home to the first major investment project looking to write human DNA completely from scratch, attracting both great excitement and grave concern from the scientific community.

Research on ancient DNA is surging, but how can scientists ensure that human remains of irreplaceable significance are preserved? This is the question investigated by an international research team ...

Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long ...
