Sections of DNA once dismissed as dormant and useless could in fact be recruited to fight certain types of drug-resistant ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Scientists at Kyoto University have uncovered a hidden protein complex that organizes DNA in sperm stem cells, a discovery that reveals surprising ties between fertility and cancer. When this protein, ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the ...

A new computational tool developed by researchers has uncovered genetic evidence directly linking Alzheimer’s disease to the ...

Researchers have discovered a new genetic link to the most common type of bone cancer among children and young ...

In 1812, hundreds of thousands of men in Napoleon's army perished during their retreat from Russia. Researchers now believe a ...
