New research reveals that sunburn’s acute effects, like inflammation and cell death, are triggered by RNA damage rather than ...

Genetic changes have the ability to alter crop characteristics, and some crop breeding techniques take advantage of this.

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell ...

More than half of the human genome is made up of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are pervasive across the tree of life.

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.

A little-known mouse protein disrupts cancer-causing chemical changes to genes associated with human colorectal cancer cells ...

Scientists have collected troves of DNA and microscopic imaging data from human cells—and now they have a tool that might ...

Recent breakthroughs in DNA research have unveiled promising developments in anti-aging therapies centered around Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), a naturally occurring molecule crucial for cellular ...

They applied the new method to more than 1,500 European genomes (a person's complete set of DNA) from people who lived primarily during the first millennium AD (year 1 to 1000), encompassing the ...

Americans with European heritage have long been able to pinpoint their ancestry through DNA testing, but it's only in recent years that those with African heritage have been able to trace their ...
