A Barcelona team showed in fruit flies that the cancer-linked protein ETV4 activates normally silent GGAA microsatellite DNA only by collaborating with a FET-family protein, a conserved mechanism that ...
A new engineered gene-editing system, proven in bacteria and showing promise for use in plants, animals and humans, addresses ...
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's protein factories, but these molecules aren't just a middleman for protein ...
RNA and DNA are chemical cousins. But one tiny difference between them (an extra oxygen atom repeated along RNA’s backbone) can radically change how the molecules behave. Researchers have now found ...
Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered an unexpected role for a well-known cancer-related protein, revealing a new layer of genetic regulation that could reshape how certain cancers are ...

DNA from a human brain gene has turned up in a virus
Unrelated virus. (Heather Davies/SPL/Getty Images) Some pieces of our DNA can copy themselves into new locations. Copies derived from one gene active in human brain cells appear to have taken that ...
