NASA astronaut Nick Hague runs an analysis with the miniPCR hardware for Genes in Space-6 during Expedition 59. This experiment explored how space radiation damages DNA and how cells repair that ...

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

More than two months after the Artemis I launch, researchers are analyzing several scientific experiments that were on board. Some work is happening at the University of Colorado Boulder within the ...

Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

Cancer treatment has long been haunted by the same problem: how do you strike dangerous cells without hitting healthy ones nearby? A team at the University of Geneva has built a drug-delivery system ...

Researchers who use nanopore-based DNA sequencing devices are scratching their heads over a recent announcement from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) that its flow cells work better in the dark. The ...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly learning to autonomously design and run biological experiments, but the systems intended ...
