The genetic link between bones discovered thousands of miles away from each other suggests a prehistoric migration route.

LAFAYETTE, Ind.(WLFI) - Genetics make up who we are, what we look like, but they also can affect us in ways like cancer being ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual ... embedding biological computation directly into physical structure. “We are learning to read and write the language of ...

Summer McKesson struggled to breathe for years. Doctors told her it was because her blood would not stop clotting – and they ...

Researchers at the University of North Carolina have created microscopic soft robots shaped like flowers that can change shape and behavior in response to their surroundings, just like living ...

Scientists based in New York have developed a new technique for removing impurities from mRNA therapies. The researchers, from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), found that their regenerated ...

Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your immune system. Scientists have discovered huge, mysterious pieces of DNA in ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division—a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according to ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been a critical turning point for life on Earth. For evolutionary biologists, what most distinguishes the ...
