Until someone invents time travel we’ll probably never know how the key molecules of life on Earth came to be. But new research shows a likely way some of the building blocks of DNA and RNA could have ...

We recently developed base editing, a genome-editing approach that enables the programmable conversion of one base pair into another without double-stranded DNA cleavage, excess stochastic insertions ...

Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) claim to have created the first stable semisynthetic organism with extra bases added to its genetic code. The single-celled organism is also able ...
