In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20100 ...

DNA science has helped solve criminal cases for decades. But increasingly, investigative genetic genealogy — which was first ...

Ferrari remains a symbol of continuity and evolution. Among its most anticipated releases is the F80, a hypercar positioned to push the limits of hybrid performance. Combining a combustion engine with ...

Ghost lineages reveal themselves through ancient genes that still exist in living beings today.

In 1990, I finished my PhD on primate evolution and went to my postdoc in Davis, California, USA. It was meant to be on fruit fly ...

Fragments of DNA from long-extinct human relatives still circulate in modern genomes, and in some cases they do more than ...

Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward mimicking nature’s tiniest gateways by creating ultra-small pores that rival the dimensions of biological ion channels—just a few atoms wide. The breakthrough ...
