When we hear the word computer, we think of silicon chips and electrical circuits. But what if the DNA molecules inside a test tube could perform addition and multiplication?A research team including ...

Scientists have demonstrated RNA polymerase can read eight genetic letters. This enzyme accurately transcribes synthetic DNA, which nature never evolved. Such findings expand the design space for new ...

As often happens in science, the discovery of VIPR started with an observation that didn’t make sense.

CRISPR is often described as an immune system that bacteria independently developed to fight viruses. However, the origin of ...

The human genome contains approximately 3 billion DNA letters, creating more than 9 billion possible single-letter changes.

For farmers and consumers to reap the benefits, guidelines for farming gene-edited plants must be implemented with careful thought.

AlphaGenome Atlas is available for non-commercial use through Google DeepMind's website at deepmind.google.com/science/alphagenome/atlas. Its predictions are intended to support research and have not ...

Four positive samples from two of its 26 barns could force the killing of 10,000 hens or more than $100,000 in egg testing.

Meta has fallen behind the other frontier labs recently, but that may have changed with the introduction of the Muse app.

CRISPR-Cas provides RNA-mediated adaptive immunity, but how its first RNA-guided effector arose is unclear. In this study, we report the discovery of Viral Interference Programmable Repeat (VIPR) ...

The high price tag, coupled with less state funding from students leaving the district, raises questions about whether the academic improvements are sustainable in the long run and whether other ...
