DNA protects itself from damage naturally, and scientists are hoping to gain insight into how the process works in order to achieve breakthrough treatments for cancer and other diseases that arise from the breakage and mutation of DNA.
Method developed for DNA programmed material synthesis
ALIEN investigators claim this giant hand is REAL and could have come from a dead extra terrestrial being.
Researchers from King’s College London have used a genetic scoring technique to predict reading performance throughout school years from DNA alone.
A team of researchers at Boston University has developed a new way to engineer mammalian cells that allows for programming them to behave in desired ways. In their paper published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, the team describes their technique and where they believe such technology is heading.
Many believe that FOXP2 gene alone is responsible for language. The problem? There is absolutely no evidence of origin from the animal kingdom towards us.
Neanderthals dosed themselves with painkillers and possibly penicillin, according to a study of their teeth.
The last woolly mammoths to walk the Earth were so wracked with genetic disease that they lost their sense of smell, shunned company, and had a strange shiny coat.
Many of the secrets of cancer and other diseases lie in the cell’s nucleus. But getting way down to that level—to see and investigate the important genetic material housed there—requires creative thinking and extremely powerful imaging techniques.
Neanderthals are still affecting what illnesses some people develop, how tall they are and how their immune systems work, despite being extinct for 40,000 years.
