DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...

Humans and bananas do share DNA, but not 70% as commonly claimed. Every living thing has a built-in instruction manual called ...

Researchers discovered that some p53 mutations, particularly R273H, overstimulate DNA replication and trigger immune ...

New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...

James Watson, whose co-discovery of DNA’s structure brought genetics to the forefront of scientific research before his remarks about the intelligence of Black people caused public outrage, has died.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that certain p53 mutants hijack the DNA replication machinery ...

A new platform developed at Scripps Research enables fast, scalable protein evolution. This potentially opens the door to new ...

Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and is often called the guardian of the genome. This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading to ...

Women who consumed more ultra-processed foods (UPFs) showed distinct DNA methylation patterns, mostly reduced across key gene ...
