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

Find how Circularization for High-throughput Analysis of Nuclease Genome-wide Effects by Sequencing Base Editors ...

CpG density and epigenetic modification state modulate DNA mechanics, altering its intrinsic compatibility with nucleosome formation.

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA using a genetic tool known as a base editor. The ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has been editing the human genome for the past decade. Although the types of edits have varied, an unsolved challenge has been the integration of large pieces of DNA without ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

Pediatric oncology researchers have pinpointed a crucial change in a single DNA base that both predisposes children to an aggressive form of the childhood cancer neuroblastoma and makes the disease ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
