For decades, gene-editing science has been limited to making small, precise edits to human DNA, akin to correcting typos in ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution.

When DNA sequencing first broke onto the scene in the 1970s, one method shone brighter than even Sanger sequencing. However, this method is now almost obsolete. What was it and what happened to it? In ...

The building block of life is often heralded as the cornerstone of a new generation of electronic devices and computers, but the electronic properties of DNA remain highly controversial. 1 Back to ...

At least five groups have independently invented a new class of CRISPR gene editing tools called dual base editors. The systems combine the functions and components of two CRISPR base editors, which ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

Scientists can now rapidly read the genetic code of an organism, even a plant, in the field. A portable real-time DNA sequencer speeds the process of reading the genome—an organism’s complete set of ...
