DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) represent one of the most deleterious forms of genetic damage, arising naturally during cellular replication or as a result of exposure to ionising radiation. The ...

Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine does not alter human DNA or add a third strand to people’s DNA, as claimed in a video circulating on social media and viewed more than 400,000 times on Twitter. The ...

Researchers have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and premature aging. Researchers at ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like ...

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts — James D. Watson, the pioneering molecular biologist whose 1953 co‑discovery of the DNA ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Researchers discovered that bowhead whales achieve extraordinary longevity and cancer resistance through highly efficient and precise DNA repair mechanisms. A whale-specific protein, CIRBP, enhances ...
