On a foggy Saturday morning in 1953, a tall, skinny 24-year-old man fiddled with shapes he had cut out of cardboard. They represented fragments of a DNA molecule, and young James Watson was trying to ...

With her picture on his phone's lock screen, JonBenét Ramsey's father, John, says he still thinks about her every day. It's been nearly 30 years since JonBenét Ramsey was murdered in their Boulder ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...
