Just as the name suggests, DNA origami is a fabrication technique wherein researchers fold DNA strands to create precisely ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.

Their major disadvantage is that they can only be used once because after elution substantial amounts of DNA remain attached to the silica matrix and the binding capacity is reduced. To solve this ...

Proteins or small molecules designed to bind certain DNA sequences and to regulate target genes have much promise in both basic and applied research. But it is important that these tools be specific.

With so many at-home DNA tests now available to consumers, learning more about your ancestry is easier than ever. Plus, these tests make for thoughtful, unique holiday gifts. All you have to do is ...

Mechanistically, HDAC6 deacetylates tripartite motif protein 56 (TRIM56) at K110 in mice, thereby impairing the monoubiquitination cGAS and its DNA binding ability. Overexpression of TRIM56 K110Q ...

Scientists have long agreed that early humans mated with Neanderthals, but a pair of recent studies have shed light on when exactly this DNA mixing occurred. Such a revelation could help ...

The study provides a valuable analysis of escape from X-inactivation based on three rare female GTEX-donors with non-mosaic X-inactivation. The methods and analyses broadly support the author's claims ...

Jan. 7, 2025 — A newly described dinosaur whose fossils were recently uncovered is challenging the existing narrative, with evidence that the reptiles were present in the northern hemisphere ...

Shelby Brown (she/her/hers) is an editor for CNET's services team. She covers tips and tricks for apps, operating systems and devices, as well as mobile gaming and Apple Arcade news. Shelby also ...

Many RBPs in LLPS share a binding preference for G-quadruplexes (G4s). G4s are complex DNA or RNA structures that display stacked tetrads of guanosines stabilized by Hoogsteen base pairing. They ...
