Powerful new applications of what is known as next-generation sequencing are now helping with identification of degraded ...

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

For the first time, scientists have sequenced the oldest and complete DNA set of an ancient Egyptian man, dating to when the ...

In the dim waters off the Japanese coast, scientists have stumbled upon something that shouldn’t exist. Or at least not by the rules we thought biology followed. While sequencing DNA from a tiny ...

When not undergoing replication, DNA molecules float freely within the cytoplasm of a cell. This makes them available to the accessory molecules that organize and repair DNA.

More than 4,000 years ago, Egypt and Mesopotamia stood as two of the most complex societies on the planet. But the new DNA ...

But while experts now know a fair amount about ancient Egyptian life, they still understand very little about the ...

The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after ...

Liu: It's a really complicated topic. In really broad terms, replication stress is when the process of DNA replication — by which DNA is duplicated during the cell cycle — is slowed down or ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

After years of collecting consumer DNA, genetic testing companies are monetizing the data. But who should profit — the ...

Glucose levels influence physiology and adaptation rates under replication stress, yet core adaptive mutations remain ...
