For many years, researchers believed that the DNA inside a newly fertilized egg began as a structural ‘blank slate’ – a loose ...

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilized egg as a structural "blank slate"—a disordered tangle of DNA ...

To mark the launch, Volta Labs and Watchmaker Genomics will host a joint in suite presentation at AGBT 2026 on February 24 at 8:30 a.m. in the Fulton Suite, where attendees can learn more about the ...

Abstract Cancer cells precisely modulate replication stress to sustain genomic instability without triggering lethal DNA damage, yet regulators ...

Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle that appears to be crucial for reproduction. This is important because ...

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird testifies Wednesday before a state House subcommittee on her proposed legislation, which would require Iowa law enforcement to collect DNA from individuals charged ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

On the vast expanse of the Siberian steppe 14,000 years ago, a 2-month-old wolf pup gobbled down some woolly rhinoceros flesh. Moments later, its underground den collapsed, killing the pup and its ...

Scientists have recovered tiny DNA traces left on Renaissance artefacts, at least some of which they suspect belong to visionary Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci. They have recovered trace DNA from ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

Maggots may be the key to more accurately determining when people died, according to Florida researchers, pointing to the genetic makeup of larvae. The findings build on previous methods that ...
