A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...

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 ...

In a spectacular bit of science, a group of scientists has sequenced the DNA from the femur of a man who died 45,000 years ago. The femur they studied is over 20 times older than this 2000 year old ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...
