Biologists have made a major breakthrough by using artificial intelligence to design the complete genetic blueprint of a ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

For decades, aging has looked like a one-way street, a slow accumulation of damage written into our cells. Now a wave of ...

Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...

This pattern overlaps with well-studied personality traits such as openness to experience, creativity and perseverance. But, it’s more specific in its career implications. It reflects whether your ...

What if a single Renaissance drawing could reveal not just who made it, but the biological traces of Leonardo da Vinci ...

Hidden RNA signals in sperm reveal an "aging cliff" that could impact offspring health.

An epigenetic study found that sperm DNA methylation changes with paternal age at thousands of genomic sites, including ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...
