Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St.

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch. It turns out that you don’t need to be a scientist to ...

First came AlphaFold. Now comes AlphaGenome for DNA. When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Article reviewed by Ninning Liu, PhD from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Similar to retail stores that use standardized ...

A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...

Analyzing genomes from over 900,000 people, researchers found that short DNA repeats expand and destabilize with age. Common ...
