DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

DeepMind’s AlphaGenome AI model could help solve the problem of predicting how variations in noncoding DNA shape gene ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Our genome isn’t as peaceful as it looks—some DNA elements are constantly trying to disrupt it. Scientists studying fruit ...

Nov. 23: There’s a new level of property tax rebellion this time. But it’s not all bad news. Scott Stantis editorial cartoon for Nov. 23, 2025, on the latest property tax bills. (Scott Stantis/For the ...

By blending scientific accuracy with creative design, one builder hopes to make the history of DNA accessible, interactive, ...
