Scientists from the University of Minnesota say they have created the first-ever synthetic cell built entirely from scratch, ...

Scientists have engineered a nanoscale switch using DNA "origami." Inspired by macroscale mechanical switches, the device achieves long-term functionality without the continuous forcing mechanism that ...

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...

Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

Accurate RNA splicing is essential for gene expression and human health, yet predicting how DNA sequence variations affect ...
