Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

Scientists are hopeful it will improve understanding of how genes work, what goes wrong in disease, and how to fix it.

It's long been assumed that as cells divide in the human body, the genome is faithfully replicated in the resulting daughter cells. While errors are known to arise, there is machinery in the cell that ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

Scientists from Oxford have discovered a method to observe DNA function inside living cells. The dramatic breakthrough has the potential to enable the identification of alterations that can lead to ...

Oxford and Cambridge researchers who produced the image map which uncovers the secrets of why humans get disease say it 'changes our understanding of how genes work’ ...

Every face carries a story, shaped long before birth by a quiet choreography of genes switching on and off at just the right moment. A new study suggests that part of that story reaches far back into ...

Picture in your mind a traditional “landline” telephone with a coiled cord connecting the handset to the phone. The coiled telephone cord and the DNA double helix that stores the genetic material in ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient ...
