A review of plant technologies shows that delivering short-lived editing proteins modifies crop DNA precisely without inserting foreign genetic material.
Traditional molecular clocks mistake healthy cellular shields for harmful wear and tear, throwing scientists off the trail of good drugs. By separating repair crews from true damage, a team found seven new life-stretching medicines.
Living in an industrialised society is linked to gut microbes swapping genes and expanding their protein toolkits to adapt to new environments.
Scientists have tested a single spiral molecule that spins with complete directional preference under an electric current, dramatically boosting electrical flow.
A genetic study of 301 ancient skeletons shows that Roman rule brought new groups to Iberia, but later Germanic rulers left the local bloodline mostly unchanged.
By tracking an experimental cotton cross with three genetic screening methods, scientists flagged five candidate genes tied to surviving severe dry spells.
Scientists have completely sequenced the chromosomal genome of Heath Groundsel, resolving two distinct genetic sets and identifying nearly 60,000 protein-coding genes.
When cells lose canonical BAF complexes, an architectural protein called CTCF steps in with an alternative partner to aggressively fold DNA into tight loops, triggering rapid cell growth.
In the model plant Arabidopsis, developing root cells split into a standard path and an environment-responsive branch that expands during dry conditions.
Researchers mapped the genome of the orphan crop Amaranthus tricolor to discover how plant heat stress turns off genes that build its rich red antioxidant pigments.
