A newly mapped step in DNA replication suggests that strand separation begins at a precise junction between two helicase ...

Inspired by long-lived animals — and human centenarians — researchers are hunting for ways to enhance DNA repair and extend ...

Deep learning approaches have transformed how scientists predict the activity and function of DNA sequences in the genome. A new AI tool called Corgi (Context-aware Regulatory Genomics Inference), ...

Researchers sequenced the genomes of three medakas, or Japanese rice fish, which are a common model organism used for ...

A single dose of a cancer-causing chemical, given to mice at 15 days of age, produced strikingly different tumors depending ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and collaborators have uncovered one of the earliest steps in DNA replication: the moment a cell first opens its DNA to begin making a copy ...

But did our direct ancestors interbreed with other long-lost hominin lineages before the first major migrations out of Africa ...

Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) delivers protracted, low absorbed dose rate radiation over time, with cellular DNA repair ...

A July 2026 paper published in the journal "npj Aging" suggests that humans may have the potential to live up to 156 years.

DNA mutations underlie many diseases, including cancer. Some sources of cancer-associated DNA mutations are well-known, like exposure to UV light and tobacco smoking. However, many remain a mystery.

Poxviruses have a long history in human disease as well as medicine: The first-ever vaccine was developed to protect against ...
