Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and ...

Cells are constantly subjected to DNA damage from a range of internal and environmental sources. It is estimated that cells ...

A UK biotech firm spent years gathering genetic data that has uncovered 1 million previously unknown microbial species and ...

Tiny, newly formed tumors shed small fragments of DNA that are swept into the bloodstream. Future cancer screening tests could detect them early.

LINE-1, a "jumping gene" making up 20% of the genome, invades DNA during cell division using protein-RNA clusters, offering ...

New research is shaking up our understanding of evolution by revealing that some species may not evolve gradually at all. Instead, scientists discovered that certain marine worms experienced an ...

A new study unexpectedly reveals that cells thrive on chaos. It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about the behavior ...

Genomic research holds incredible promise for improving human health, but one major challenge has slowed its progress: ...
