Scientists are hopeful it will improve understanding of how genes work, what goes wrong in disease, and how to fix it.

What if the brain's response to stress could be read not in fleeting neurotransmitter bursts, but in the quieting of genes deep inside chromatin? Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham ...

SDSC provides high-performance computing and data infrastructure that support researchers doing molecular modeling and ...

Experts argue that these ham and bacon pose a cancer risk that successive UK governments have failed to address ...

Diaries written by Northampton-born scientist Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the DNA double helix, have sold at auction for ...

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...

A better understanding of protein glycosylation offers insights into disease mechanisms and helps improve therapeutic medicines.

Within each cell, there is a constant struggle between life-sustaining molecules and molecules that could hasten its demise. For the first time, scientists have created a molecule that can identify ...

Genetic tweaks allowed early humans to stand, balance and walk on two legs instead of moving on all fours like other primates, according to researchers.

The RAD52-DNA complex is a dynamic guardian of genomic stability. When this balance falters, cells may either self-destruct or, worse, turn cancerous.

The study published in Nature found Bowhead whales have molecules that can help repair damaged DNA, a defence that helps fight cancer .
