For decades, genetic engineering meant working with existing sequences — cutting, splicing, and modifying what natural evolution had already produced. The Evo models used in this research do something ...

Scientists are worried about how smart DNA-trained artificial intelligence models could get—and that they could become a ...

One of the most iconic visual representations in biological science is the double helix – the twisting, twin-stranded ladder ...

Forget everything you think you know about ageing – this is what scientists want you to know about living better for longer ...

Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Schuyler County has announced its upcoming events for August. CCE Schuyler has ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Permafrost usually hits the news as a hazard; a planetary risk. When this ice-rich ground thaws, it damages roads and building foundations. It drains lakes and tips trees into drunken forests. It ...

Healthy brains may be built through a process of controlled damage and rapid repair. The most dangerous type of DNA damage is a regular feature of healthy early brain development, experiments in mice ...

Damaged DNA can escape from one human cell and infiltrate another. Like prisoners tunneling out of jail, this DNA travels via tubelike structures between neighboring cells, scientists report May 19 in ...

Every individual has their own unique genetic profile. We each have inherited about 3 billion base pairs of DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) from both our mother and our father. Therefore, we have a ...

Humans are closely related to chimpanzees and bonobos, but what are the key factors that make humans genetically different? A new study looks at the process of DNA methylation, in which chemical tags ...
