Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction.

From fighting diseases to determining why you can't stand cilantro, genetics are the silent architects of your life. Here's ...

Plastic chemicals may harm DNA, as new research reveals how additives disrupt nematode egg formation, suggesting risks to human reproductive health.

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a new study. It is the first time researchers use data from ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists have discovered a way to manipulate the very fabric of life by using light to reshape ...

PD-L1 not only responds to the cGAS-STING pathway upon DNA damage, but also regulates cGAS-STING to induce inflammation. This ...

Life on our planet relies on carbon-based DNA. The panspermia hypothesis suggests that life could have originated in a different part of the universe and then been transported to Earth.

Despite ORC's critical role in DNA replication, there have been instances where the loss of specific ORC subunits has still seemingly supported DNA replication in cancer cells, endocycling hepatocytes ...

An at-home DNA test costing approximately $150 can detect mutations in the ADH and ALDH genes, affecting alcohol metabolism. Results take about two weeks to process. What it finds out: If you ...
