The rollout of a type of genetic technology called a gene drive for tackling malaria could be edging closer after a lab study ...

For the first time, scientists have captured the exact moment DNA begins to unravel, shedding light on a fundamental chemical process that enables DNA to serve as the blueprint for life. A recent ...

Graying hair could be a sign that the body is effectively protecting itself from cancer, a new study suggests. Cancer-causing ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

The first 100 bases of many genes show excess mutations, revealing a major genomic weak spot that shapes disease risk and ...

Jyoti Vakhlu [email protected] From laws of inheritance to the molecule of heredity – a journey of scientific ...

A Nobel laureate, he identified an enzyme that cuts DNA, laying the groundwork for milestones in scientific research and ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.

The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...
