Ancient DNA from nearly 16,000 genomes suggests human evolution accelerated after farming, cities, and the Bronze Age transformed Europe.

Cancer cell DNA doubling — when cells accidentally duplicate all chromosomes without dividing — now has a new risk factor: ...

Transposons, DNA sequences that can self-replicate and move (jump) throughout the genome, are widespread and can affect cell ...

Tokyo [Japan], May 26 (ANI): Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

Eli Lilly is laying the groundwork for a phase 2 trial of the lipid-lowering gene editor it acquired from Verve Therapeutics, with the candidate now showing strong and consistent cholesterol ...

Genome-wide association studies have linked thousands of genetic variants to disease, yet most remain disconnected from drug-relevant biology. Neville Sanjana, Professor at New York University and ...

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

Scientists at McGill University have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells, helping them break through the defenses tumors use to stay alive. By temporarily blocking ...
