Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...
