A team of biochemists has discovered in bacteria a protein capable of building DNA without following known genetic ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Recent breakthroughs in genetics research may have uncovered new genes underlying common psychiatric disorders. Schizophrenia and ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

DNA consists of a code language comprising four letters which make up what are known as codons, or words, each three letters long. Interpreting the language of the genetic code was the work of ...

DNA stores our genetic code. What if it could also be integrated with electronics to store and read other information?

最值得关注的是，该突变发生在非编码 DNA 区域 —— 人类 98% 的 DNA 不编码基因，曾被视为 “垃圾 DNA”，如今证实其像软件一样调控基因激活与蛋白质合成。此次突变的是名为 Enh13 的非编码调控元件，它是转录因子的 “对接站”，转录因子与调控元件的 “锁钥结合” 会启动基因开关。
