You're walking around right now carrying the genetic fingerprints of infections that happened millions of years ago. Deep inside your cells, woven into the very fabric of your DNA, sit sequences that ...

Thanks to genetic science, gene editing, and techniques like cloning, it’s now possible to move DNA through time, studying ...

New study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated over and over, become longer and more unstable as we age. The study found ...

A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...

Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...

The species is adapting to warmer temperatures ...

A gene that is important for human hearing could determine whether a dog’s ears are pendulous like a basset hound’s or stubby ...

New one-dose treatment edits a gene in the liver, disabling the ANGPTL3 protein and significantly lowers cholesterol.

Scientists have turned to artifacts associated with Leonardo da Vinci on a quest to track down the legendary polymath’s elusive DNA.
