Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic ...

DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these programmable nanodevices stable and functional inside living cells. If ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

Daily consumption of skin-roasted peanuts for six months led to a modest but significant increase in telomere length among ...

A new multicenter study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute-funded Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) ...

A major new study has revealed that the genes we inherit at birth play a much larger role in cancer than previously ...

Plants know how to defend themselves against pathogenic microorganisms. In turn, pathogens have sensors to detect such defense mechanisms. What happens when plant and pathogen are locked in that duel?

Researchers at the University of Birmingham have discovered answers that offer detail to explain two distinct DNA repair pathways that have long been debated.

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt cellular energy production. Researchers have identified a molecule that helps ...
