A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...

As climate change outpaces the ability of ecosystems to adapt, scientists are turning to conservation genomics to guide ...

Discovery reshapes understanding of how tumor cells repair broken DNA, pointing toward more precise cancer therapies.

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

The abundance of viral DNA was measured in DNA sequenced from blood and saliva samples in biobanks, revealing strong ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists as part of a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin. For this purpose, the ...

A mitochondrial enzyme, Ak4, strengthens immune defense by promoting mitochondrial DNA synthesis and enhancing macrophage ...

Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

A sample collected by the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft from the spinning top-like asteroid contained the nucleobases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil. When you purchase through links on our ...
