A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

Scientists discover QT45, a self-replicating RNA molecule, offering insights into the origins of life on Earth.

Abstract: Owing to its unique advantages in precisely manipulating biomolecules and systems, Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) can be employed to construct nanomolecular circuits with specialized ...

Roche has appointed leading Australian cancer researcher Prof Mark Dawson to lead its pharma Research and Early Development (pRED) division.

In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's helical structure. Franklin's meticulous analysis provided precise measurements ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...

One of the greatest mysteries of our planet is how a soup of lifeless chemicals transformed into the first living cell. There are several competing theories about where this happened, from frozen ...

Stephen Kelly, chief executive of Manufacturing NI, champions the big-hitting manufacturers that are the bedrock of the NI economy but adds a note of caution - they need more stability and investment ...

The London biotech will develop small-molecule therapies to target a pathway some cancer cells use to lengthen their life ...

Since the computer age began, storing and securing escalating data volumes has been a headache. But that problem could potentially be solved using DNA. DNA stands out for its stability. (Photo: ...
