Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or external stressors such as radiation or chemical ...

Women in their 60s and 70s could theoretically one day give birth to genetically related children, according to scientists pioneering a breakthrough technique that converts DNA from skin cells into ...

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

Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaGenome, an AI tool that analyses large sections of DNA to predict how genetic mutations ...

Researchers have shown that harmful bonds between protein and DNA fuel immune attack in progeria. Pumping up a protein that cuts these bonds could prevent symptoms.

DNA can be regarded as an extensive library that contains all genetic information. Cells do not utilize this information simultaneously.

In Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," Alice is stuck in a never-ending race with the Red Queen yet never gains a ...

A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...

DNA can be thought of as a vast library that stores all genetic information. Cells do not use this information all at once. Instead, they copy only the necessary parts into RNA, which is then used to ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...
