DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Researchers suggest that they have recovered sequences from ancient works and from letters that may belong to the Renaissance ...

Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...

Scientists have successfully recovered what may be Leonardo da Vinci's DNA from a centuries-old red chalk drawing, marking a breakthrough that could unlock secrets about one of history's greatest ...

Sleep may have evolved to help reduce DNA damage in nerve cells long before they became centralized in the brain, a study ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

The benefits of sleep may be more universal than we thought. We know it helps clear waste from the brain in humans, and now ...

AI can now create genome viruses in laboratories and redesign toxins to evade controls, raising biosafety alert and rise of ...

The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
