Transposons, so-called jumping genes, are a threat to genomes, so plants work hard to prevent them from mobilizing and ...

Chemists identify a single molecule that naturally tiles in nonrepeating patterns, which could help build materials with novel electronic properties.

Spliceosome structures have been investigated extensively in the past decade, but most of the studies have been restricted to a handful of model organisms. New research by Lu et al, looks outside this ...

The sequence contained a promising new genetic tool for modifying DNA, a CRISPR. Editas Medicine, a Massachusetts-based ...
