A pioneering partnership between researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois ...

Tiny, newly formed tumors shed small fragments of DNA that are swept into the bloodstream. Future cancer screening tests could detect them early.

As interest in DNA methylation continues to grow across both basic and translational research, there is a pressing need for ...

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and ...

Cells are constantly subjected to DNA damage from a range of internal and environmental sources. It is estimated that cells ...

Genomic research holds incredible promise for improving human health, but one major challenge has slowed its progress: ...

Researchers at Northwestern University found that DNA strand separation may require more force than previously thought when modeled in a more true-to-life environment. In most labs, scientists ...

LINE-1, a "jumping gene" making up 20% of the genome, invades DNA during cell division using protein-RNA clusters, offering ...

Researchers have developed an innovative new nanopore sequencing assay to identify carriers of fragile X syndrome (FXS), the ...

In a preprint article published on bioRxiv that hasn't yet been peer reviewed, she and her colleagues say they've done just that — by pulling DNA out of the air. To help explain the approach ...
