Mitochondrial diseases, arising from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are a diverse group of disorders that lead to ...

“Instead of floating freely and risking uneven distribution, the 2-micron plasmid has evolved a clever trick of hitchhiking,” ...

Hajun Kim, Taejoon Kwon, and Joo Hun Kang—from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST has unveiled a novel diagnostic technique that utilizes artificially designed polymers known as peptide ...

This genetic reunion, occurring roughly 300,000 years ago, resulted in one group contributing 80% of modern human DNA, while the other provided the remaining 20%. These findings suggest human ...

to "barcode" ribosomal RNA (rRNA) inside living cells. By writing genetic information directly into the 16S rRNA - a molecule universally found in bacteria - the researchers could track which microbes ...

the Bonn researchers have now investigated internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESes). These are specialized, folded sequences within an RNA strand that are particularly well known in the genetic ...

A new study suggests that severe trauma, like that experienced in war, can leave epigenetic “scars” on DNA that endures for generations. In the early 1980s, the Syrian regime carried out a ...

The Rice team's new method, called RNA-addressable modification (RAM), bypasses these hurdles by using a synthetic catalytic RNA (cat-RNA) to "barcode" ribosomal RNA (rRNA) inside living cells.

All modern humans share DNA from two ancient populations that split 1.5 million years ago and reunited through interbreeding about 300,000 years ago. The genetic mixture is approximately 80% from one ...
