Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases we know. It commonly impacts the lungs, but can also affect other areas of the body like the spine, brain or kidneys.

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

The cost of decoding our genetic makeup has plummeted. Just because it’s affordable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth doing ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

Using patented purification methods and a community-first growth strategy, the Root Brands is redefining what it means to ...

While most people flinch at the sight of a spider, Cal State Fullerton assistant professor of biological science Anna ...

An evolutionary "trap" has haunted crested and marbled newts for 25 million years: Leiden researchers have uncovered a mysterious DNA error that should not be able to arise—yet persists all the same.

Scientists trace Leonardo da Vinci's DNA through his descendants and family tombs to reconstruct his genetic code.

The microbe Pyrodictium abyssi is an archaeon—a member of what's known as the third domain of life—and an extremophile. It ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...
