Sections of DNA once dismissed as dormant and useless could in fact be recruited to fight certain types of drug-resistant ...

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

Bowhead whales can live over 200 years thanks to a protein that helps their cells repair DNA damage efficiently.

A study reveals that a protein called RPA is essential for maintaining chromosome stability by stimulating telomerase. New findings from the-Madison suggest that problems with a key protein that helps ...

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

Donald Lawless, a man originally from Ohio with a long criminal history, has been identified as the suspect in Marilyn Decker ...

Spaceflight rewires the human body. Muscles shrink, bones thin and fluids shift towards the brain – but these changes may ...

DNA shines a light back into the past, showing us things that fossils can't. But how far back can that light extend? Some of the oldest DNA sequences come from mastodon and polar bear fossils about 50 ...

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.

This statement might sound like a line from a sci-fi movie, but what if life on Earth didn’t start here at all? For decades, ...

While in the big scheme of things DNA is still something we only recently found out about, a huge amount of research has gone into this subject, so it can be confidently said that experts really have ...

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 ...
