If your dad is anything like mine, chances are he is notoriously hard to shop for — there are only so many pairs of socks you can buy over the years.

Understanding gene regulation may be key to interpreting human disease genetics. Genes are regulated in part by stretches of ...

Two new studies from Johns Hopkins University are providing scientists with an unprecedented view of how human cells repair ...

Few biological systems have been studied as exhaustively as the phage ΦX174, or phi X. Yet a new study shows that scientists still have loads to learn. Most of these mutations were detrimental to the ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has overturned decades of assumptions about Miracinonyx trumani, the extinct predator popularly known as the American ...

For billions of years, life on Earth has relied on a remarkably simple genetic language. DNA uses just four chemical letters — A, T, C and G — to store the instructions needed to build and maintain ...

Researchers at UC San Diego have demonstrated that a key cellular enzyme can accurately read an eight-letter genetic alphabet, doubling the four letters used by all known life on Earth. Detailed ...

Clues emerging from DNA could unlock the mystery of human ancestors that are missing from the fossil record yet present in the genes of people living today. Scientists found evidence years ago that ...
