In an era when Washington seems incapable of finding common ground on virtually any issue, it’s notable to encounter a policy area where stakeholders across the political spectrum agree. Gene ...

Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high accuracy. Created through directed evolution, the enzyme also performs reverse ...

DNA, which has a double-helix structure, can have many genetic mutations and variations. Credit: NIH "Random DNA" is naturally active in the one-celled fungi yeast, while such DNA is turned off as its ...

A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists closer than ever to demonstrating how life could have emerged from chemistry ...

Molecular instructions in living cells can be timed rather like the notes or chords in a piece of music. For example, a finite number of genes can be activated and expressed in different orders, for ...

This diagram depicts the chemical structure of pyrimidine, a six-membered aromatic ring with two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 (highlighted in blue). The remaining positions are occupied by ...

An updated edition of the July 30, 2025, article. Genomics involves a thorough study of genomes (an organism’s complete set of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA). It involves understanding how genes ...
