Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have discovered how mammalian cells prevent the gradual buildup of harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA, the small but vital genome that powers every cell. The ...

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Hong Kong have created a mouse with substituted genes from a single-celled organism known as a choanoflagellate. Scientists replaced ...

Most gene-editing tools are blind to context. Point them at a DNA sequence and they cut, whether that sequence sits inside a ...

Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. The system they developed may facilitate the transportation of large ...
