For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

A Google DeepMind invention that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict how DNA mutations behave could have a ...

A new AI model by Google DeepMind can decipher DNA and predict mutations, opening new doors for disease research. View on ...

A research team has successfully demonstrated the world's first gene-editing treatment for Leber's hereditary optic ...

Researchers have changed the way to look at DNA. They show that DNA is much more than a linear sequence of building blocks; it has a 3D structure that influences the variation of human genome-wide ...

Cells have to protect the genome, and there are mechanisms in place to repair DNA damage that does arise. But sometimes those mechanisms fail. New research reported in Nature Communications has ...

Studying the role of mitochondria—the specialized structures within cells responsible for energy production—in metabolic diseases has been difficult because of a lack of animal models with the ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Studying the role of mitochondria—the specialized structures within cells responsible for energy production—in metabolic diseases has been difficult because of a lack of animal models ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...
