Scientists now recognize that spontaneous DNA errors, which we acquire in early development all the way until our last breath ...

Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

Every cell in the human body squeezes over six feet of DNA into a minuscule speck invisible to the naked eye—like compressing ...

A new AI-powered analysis from Gladstone Institutes and the Arc Institute has revealed that over 85% of nucleosomes—the protein clusters that package DNA—contain partially exposed genetic material, ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

The failure of the repair enzyme SPRTN in these cultured cells leads to fatal errors in cell division, e.g. by distributing the chromosomes (red) to three daughter cell nuclei instead of two (arrow).

Scientists have found a link between super-agers' longevity and DNA analyzed from Ice Age hunter-gatherer populations in ...

Researchers use AI to discover 14 distinct nucleosome states, revealing that DNA packaging acts as a "volume dial" for gene ...

The human immune system is finely tuned to detect and destroy viral threats. But this same defense system can misfire. When ...

A large Canadian study has identified a previously unknown DNA region on chromosome 12 linked to frailty, implicating both brain and immune system pathways. The finding, from over 23,000 participants ...
