I want to study biology in college too. When many high school students start researching universities with that thought in ...

Scientists have deciphered the genome of the bacterium behind the world's first recorded pandemic that swept through the eastern Mediterranean about 1,500 years ago. Researchers found Yersinia pestis, ...

Our cells accumulate DNA mistakes as we age, eating less slowed that process in mice Every cell carries a molecular record of time. As DNA is copied, repaired and exposed to damage, mutations ...

A cell's ability to repair its damaged DNA is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, helping protect us from ...

At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, ...

DNA sequence regulates complex reactions and protein-DNA interactions, yet sequence effects remain poorly understood due to the lack of direct, high-throughput approaches to study sequence-dependence ...

In a discovery that could reshape how scientists think about plant resilience in a changing world, researchers in China have ...

When humans started farming around 10,000 years ago, they reshaped their landscapes, diets, and social structures. A common assumption in evolutionary biology held that those cultural changes acted as ...

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before. Researchers found that antiviral enzymes that mutate the DNA of normal and cancer cells are key promoters of early ...

Scientists have shown that biology can read an eight-letter DNA alphabet, opening new possibilities for synthetic life and ...
