A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and ...

A*STAR scientists have developed a new method to directly and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard “letters” (bases) ...

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

DNA is more than simply a lengthy string of genetic code; it is a complex three-dimensional structure folded inside each cell. That means that the equipment used to examine DNA must be as ...

Recent scientific breakthroughs have transformed the once-dismissed non-coding DNA, or “junk DNA,” into a targeted weapon against cancer. Leveraging artificial intelligence, scientists have uncovered ...

New discoveries are showing how genetic variations can affect our health, from disease risks to how we respond to medicines. Understanding the genetics of animals, plants, and microbes helps us see ...

His decoding of the blueprint for life with Francis H.C. Crick made him one of the most important scientists of the 20th ...

CLEVELAND—DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the ...
