Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have identified 4,208 previously unannotated open reading frames (ORFs) across 679 human-associated viral genomes using a high-throughput method called massively parallel ...
Harvard University researchers at the Broad Institute report that expansion in situ genome sequencing (ExIGS) linked nuclear abnormalities to hotspots of aberrant chromatin regulation, potentially eroding cell identity. The ...
University of Pennsylvania researchers have discovered a right-handed, antiparallel double-helix inside influenza ribonucleoprotein complexes that slides strand-against-strand as the viral polymerase copies RNA, offering ...
An international team of scientists have unlocked a key piece of Earth's evolutionary puzzle by decoding the structure of a light-harvesting "nanodevice" in one of the planet's most ancient lineages of cyanobacteria.

A multi-institutional collaboration of synthetic biology research centers in China has developed a genetically engineered strain of Vibrio natriegens capable of bioremediating complex organic pollutants, including biphenyl, ...
Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and Linköping University in Sweden have discovered how cells prevent their chromosomes from mistakenly fusing together. Two proteins, TRF2 and RAP1, work together to ...
University of Pennsylvania researchers have developed a powerful new investigative tool to reveal how proteins work inside living cells. A technique that enables quick, precise and minimally disruptive incorporation of amino ...
A team of evolutionary scientists, dermatologists and wildlife specialists affiliated with several institutions in Japan, Kenya and France has found that human skin wounds take nearly three times as long to heal as they do ...
Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization and protein components of a lipid-transfer complex known as LPD-3. Findings show that LPD-3 contains ...
