HUMANS could live for centuries after scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal. The bowhead whale that can live for more than 200 years could hold the key to prolonging ...

Scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal - the bowhead whale. It can live for more than 200 years thanks to the CIRBP protein in the ocean, that helps the species rebuild ...

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease.

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Some scientists instead believe Dsup acts like a shield. In this model, Dsup coats and physically blocks radiation from striking DNA. Others think it boosts the cell’s repair machinery, fixing damage ...

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

For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...

This insightful review explores key areas of cancer genetic research, focusing on genes that may benefit from ...

An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource ...

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

An artificial intelligence model predicts how brain immune cells react to RNA and DNA nanoparticles, helping scientists design safer and more effective nucleic acid therapies faster.
