MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

Scientists have long suspected connections between heredity and disease, dating back to Hippocrates, who observed certain ...

Once an antibody latches on to a pathogen, broadly neutralizing antibodies inactivate it (as their name implies). This is ...

Scientists have created egg-like cells capable of fertilization using DNA from ordinary skin cells in what could be a major breakthrough for infertility research. Using a newly developed technique to ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...

An innovative use of skin cells could provide a route for same-sex couples or women with fertility problems to have children ...

The findings show that disease-causing mutations were found in around 2% of the sperm from men in their early 30s, increasing ...

Fetuses at high risk for cystic fibrosis may be detected by screening of pregnant mothers using reflex to cell-free DNA analysis.
