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

A study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators reveals how melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, evolves to resist immunotherapy and identifies a potential ...

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

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 ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal, the bowhead whale, revealing a mechanism that could potentially prolong the human lifespan ...

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older ...

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 often is called the ‘guardian of the genome.’ But when p53 mutates, it can flip from protector to promoter of cancer. Gene p53 is mutated in about 50% of ...

A study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators reveals how melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, evolves to ...
