Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, ...

We should pay more attention to upstream prevention, which is vital for the nation’s health, write Trevor Sheldon and John Wright It is a consistent failing of governments to be seduced by the lure of ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...

Human genome editing historically has allowed for precise alterations of single base pairs by excising or inserting new sequences at a single location along the DNA strand. However, conventional gene ...

An international team of researchers co-led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, have identified rules that tell cells how to fold DNA into the tightly packed, iconic X-shaped ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and a new-to-nature ...

Researchers working with Colossal Biosciences have assembled a near-complete Tasmanian tiger genome and developed artificial reproductive technologies that could help de-extinct the species.

The World’s Largest Animal Genome Belongs to an Odd, Air-Breathing Fish Scientists sequenced the 91 billion base pairs in the South American lungfish’s genome, setting a record and revealing ...

Let’s spend a few minutes time traveling back to the Devonian period, where we unravel the mysteries hidden within the lungfish genome — the world’s largest animal genome, and a treasure trove of ...

(Katherine Seghers/Louisiana State University) Because the jumping genes are still partying away in Lepidosiren, the researchers assumed the genome would be too difficult to analyze. To their surprise ...

Join us as we travel back in time. We have arrived in the Devonian period, some 420 to 360 million years ago. In a shallow ...

The genomes of all lungfish inform on genome expansion and tetrapod evolution. Nature, 2024; DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07830-1 ...
