Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Because CRISPR news tends to focus on the applications of genome editing—such as treating genetic diseases or improving food—it may be easy to forget that the system is, at its core, used by bacteria ...

While the world was busy arguing over AI-generated art and essays, a team at the Arc Institute and Stanford University was ...

DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

DNA is the raw material of modern medicine yet is the only part of drug development not accessible at the lab bench. DNA synthesis, the first step in most biological workflows including gene synthesis ...

A 5,500-year-old skeleton from the Americas has yielded the oldest genetic evidence yet of a bacterium closely related to the ...
