A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...
The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota researchers are looking into how cancer cells respond to treatment with hydroxyurea, a commonly used chemotherapy drug. According to a release from ...
Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...
A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...
Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...
Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...
A futuristic “DNA origami” vaccine platform may one day outperform mRNA shots while being easier to produce and distribute. Credit: Shutterstock Scientists have developed a new DNA origami–based ...
