For more than three decades, researchers studying genomes have relied on foundational resources such as Repbase and, more ...

From simple chemicals to a cell-like system that grows and reproduces, researchers have crossed a major milestone. The ...

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Learn how SpudCell, a synthetic cell built from chemical parts, can grow, divide, copy its DNA, and bring life-like behavior ...

Tiny robots built from biomolecules and nanoparticles have long promised a more precise way to deliver drugs, run chemical ...

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.

We're all interested in slowing the aging process, but the notion that any simple intervention will have a dramatic effect is ...

From chemical building blocks, scientists have created synthetic cells that have most of the hallmarks of life.

Scientists say they have developed the world's first synthetic cell with a complete life cycle, built entirely from ...

Caltech researchers have identified a novel chemical reaction that could explain the formation of the building blocks of DNA ...
