A new study has been published showcasing a new DNA-based nanobot that could open the door to producing life-saving drugs in the human body.

Researchers in the United States have shown that genes from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) - the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) - can be integrated into the genome of infected human cells. The team says the viral RNA can be expressed as chimeric transcripts with fused cellular and viral sequences.

Marine Biological Laboratory finds gene captured from bacteria more than 60 million years ago. Your DNA holds the blueprint to build your body, but it's a living document: Adjustments to the design can be made by epigenetic marks. Cataloguing these marks and how they work is important for underst

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, severely affecting public health and the global economy. Adaptive immunity plays a crucial role in fighting against SARS-CoV-2 infection and directly influences the clinical outcomes of patients.

BGI Genomics-the Chinese Communist Party-linked genomics firm flagged by U.S. officials as "mining" the DNA of Americans-has collaborated extensively with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The National Pulse can reveal. The company has recently come under fire following a 60 Minutes exposé on the company's use of COVID-19 tests to "collect, store and exploit biometric information" on American citizens, according to former U.S.

DeepMind has already notched up a streak of wins, showcasing AIs that have learned to play a variety of complex games with superhuman skill, from Go and StarCraft to Atari's entire back catalogue. But Demis Hassabis, DeepMind's public face and co-founder, has always stressed that these successes were just stepping stones towards a larger goal:...

Damage to DNA occurs continuously. DNA quality control mechanisms, such as DNA repair and replicative pathways, mitigate that damage and preserve the DNA sequence. Mutations are believed to arise when DNA lesions are not repaired appropriately, and they are thought to be an indicator of ineffectual DNA quality control.
