Genetic tweaks allowed early humans to stand, balance and walk on two legs instead of moving on all fours like other primates ...

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

Led by biomedical engineer Vadim Backman, the study reveals that DNA’s 3D physical structure holds a “geometric code” — a system that allows cells to compute, remember and adapt.

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

Scientists have discovered a tardigrade protein, Dsup, that protects DNA from damage and may enhance human cellular resilience under extreme stress conditions.

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...
