Recombinase polymerase amplification lets researchers rapidly replicate DNA in the clinic, in the field, or even in the International Space Station.

A new tool called PRISM draws on virus-host interactions and a DNA repair pathway to help researchers visualize how cellular stress may contribute to neurodegenerative disease.

Scientists have genetically modified isolated microbes for decades. Now, using CRISPR, they intend to target entire microbiomes.

Sequences for the model organism and two of its kin reveal how these plants got their oversized genomes.

The researchers who constructed the first reference genome for this critically endangered mollusk say it will assist restoration efforts.

Weird and wonderful, plant DNA is challenging preconceptions about the evolution of life, including our own species.

A chromosome-scale genome sequence for this infamous agricultural pest could help mitigate its plagues.

The high-quality genome sequence sheds light on the colorful nature of these popular aquarium fish.

Studies have found that organisms can inherit mitochondria from male parents in rare instances, and both theoretical and experimental work hint that this biparental inheritance is more than just a fluke.
