Analysis of ancient DNA from the ashen casts of Pompeii victims changes presumed relationships between them, and reveals the ...

Many of us remember from high school biology class that mitochondria are the cell's "power plants." These small ...

Scientists have discovered a way to target elusive circular fragments of DNA that drive the survival of some of the most aggressive cancers, paving the way for future treatments.

But they found that, unlike chromosomes, ecDNA transcription — the process of copying DNA sequences into RNA instructions ... internal checkpoints to pause cell division until the conflict is resolved ...

Tiny circles called ecDNA are critical in cancer development and drug resistance. An international team publishes landmark studies detailing new findings and potential therapies.

“Every cell in our bodies has the same genome sequence, but genetic programming comes from modifications to DNA. If life can do this, we can do this,” she says. Qian and her colleagues ...

By using epigenetic modifications, you can quickly write data in parallel without needing to synthesize new DNA.

Scientists have long wondered how the first cell membranes formed from the primordial soup—a new study offers up a recipe.

The bombardment affected 2,801 tardigrade genes associated with DNA repair, cell division, hormone metabolism and immune ...

A large-scale study links the presence of these tiny molecules to increased aggressiveness in malignant tumors ...

This valuable paper shows image correlation spectroscopy (ICS) as a new tool to analyze the clustering of proteins involved in DNA damage response (DDR). The solid evidence presented demonstrates that ...
