The CRISPR “gene scissors” have become an important basis for genome-editing technologies in many fields, ranging from biology and medicine to agriculture and industry. A team from the Helmholtz ...

Abstract: DNA carries the genetic information of almost all the living beings on the earth. The flow of genetic information takes place by a series of transcription and translation reactions in which ...

Abstract: DNA is emerging as a promising medium for storing huge volumes of data in a confined space that remains intact for thousands of years. Although this technique is very efficient, especially ...

This month's cover highlights the article Malaria parasites undergo a rapid and extensive metamorphosis after invasion of the host erythrocyte by Christiaan van Ooij, Aline Fréville and colleagues.

The name Colin Pitchfork might not be as recognizable as Charles Manson or Jeffrey Dahmer. But for those in the forensic science community, it’s a name that holds weight. Pitchfork was the first ...
