Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.
Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...
Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.
As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.
Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.
