Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

A new kind of CRISPR that destroys cells rather than gene editing them has shown potential for killing sick cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. The technology has largely been tested in cells ...

Researchers at Genentech Inc. and UC Davis have worked out the structure of the RAD51 complex, which repairs breaks in DNA. When DNA experiences a double-strand break, enzymes trim back one of the two ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: When you drill down far enough, life becomes an alphabet soup of letters—four of them to be exact. These nucleotides—adenine (A), cytosine (C), ...
