Members of a new class of antivirals are being tested in U.S. clinical trials, and one has gained approval in Japan, but how ...

Paris summit warns about “mirror life.” Scientists call for early limits on mirror bacteria that could evade defenses and ...

What started as an ad-hoc project shared by two of San Diego’s key research institutions is now a permanent part of the ...

Metagenomic sequencing of tree bark microbiota indicated their ability to process some atmospheric gases, highlighting their ...

Nucleosomes are barriers to RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribing along gene bodies in eukaryotes. We found that a fragile “tailless nucleosome” could be generated to resolve the Pol II pausing ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...
