Scientists transferred light-harvesting proteins into yeast for the first time, shining a light on the past lives of eukaryotic cells.

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

With the help of directed evolution, scientists inch closer to developing viral vectors that can cross the human blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapy.

A green fluorescent dye with a novel DNA binding mechanism improves signal-to-noise in different DNA amplification assays.

p53 is possibly the most important protein for maintaining cellular function. Losing it is synonymous with cancer.

Once obscure mud microbes inspire a new generation of living electronics.
