Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...

The first 100 bases of many genes show excess mutations, revealing a major genomic weak spot that shapes disease risk and ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...

A Nobel laureate, he identified an enzyme that cuts DNA, laying the groundwork for milestones in scientific research and ...

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective ...

We have long struggled to determine how the first living organisms on Earth came together. Now, surprising evidence hints ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...
