A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really a living organism – yet ...
In cancer research, one person's junk is increasingly becoming another person's treasure. Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how recently evolved "junk DNA" genetic elements can become ...

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.
From chemical building blocks, scientists have created synthetic cells that have most of the hallmarks of life.
Synonymous DNA substitutions have often been viewed as quiet changes because they do not alter the amino acid sequence of a ...
Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.
Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.
What is the full form of RNA? Explore its meaning, single-stranded structure, functions, how it differs from DNA, its role in ...
Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...
Abstract: Long noncoding RNAs or IncRNAs are RNAs which are at least 200 nucleotides long and do not code for proteins. Antisense IncRNAs, which comprise of $\text{4 0 \%}$ IncRNAs, originate from the ...
On Tuesday, a 23andMe representative told SFGATE that the compliance review for large orders is standard protocol and meant to prevent unauthorized reselling. In a response to a representative, ...
