When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the ...
A troubling new study from MIT reveals that a common environmental contaminant, NDMA—found in polluted water, certain medications, and even processed foods—may pose a far greater cancer risk to ...

According to a study from MIT, NDMA, a carcinogen that has been found in some drugs and drinking water contaminated by chemical plants, may have a much more severe impact on children than adults.
DNA microchips can now encode arbitrary digital information at a density of over at 700 terabytes per gram. That number could be pushed much higher, theoretically even as high as 455 exabytes per gram ...
A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever reaches the interior. That is the central finding behind SNIPE, a newly ...
Researchers are moving DNA information from past species to living ones. This article first appeared in The Checkup, MIT Technology Review’s weekly biotech newsletter. To receive it in your inbox ...
