Researchers developed a retron-based system that enables DNA to function as an active intracellular tool rather than merely ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...

Scientists manufacture many biotherapeutic products in immortalized cell lines, most commonly HEK293. Residual HEK293 DNA in biotherapeutic candidates can harbor tumorigenic or retroviral sequences ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all ...

Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active ...

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

Roughly one out of three women ages 14-49 in the United States develop a vaginal bacterial imbalance known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) during their lifetime. BV is characterized by unpleasant odors, ...

In 2003, Kary Mullis took The Scientist readers behind the scenes of the night in 1983 when he came up with the idea for PCR. He included a photo of his lab notebook that depicts his very first ...
