An HIV-derived nucleoside therapy now treats rare genetic diseases by restoring mitochondrial DNA and improving muscle ...

Squid can edit their genetic information in a place scientists didn’t expect. Longfin inshore squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) are the first known animals that can tweak strings of RNA outside of a nerve ...

Nanostructures made using DNA origami are fascinating. The ability to use DNA as a construction material, capable of holding scaffolds of molecules and atoms was one huge step in developing modern ...

Like many viruses, the rabies virus has a relatively small genome compared to most organisms. Scientists have now revealed how the rabies virus can take control of cells even though its genome only ...

Around one million individuals worldwide become infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, each year. To replicate and spread the infection, the virus must smuggle its genetic material into the ...

Cell division, the basic means by which genetic information is passed from generation to generation, involves tightly coordinated movements of a cell's DNA. This page describes the major phases of ...
