Salk Institute findings on premature aging syndrome could lead to way of slowing or reversing aging process.

DNA regulatory tags must be cut out and replaced to allow neurons to function.

An international team of researchers has sequenced the nearly complete genome of two Siberian woolly mammoths—revealing the most complete picture to date—including new information about the species’ evolutionary history and the conditions that led to its mass extinction at the end of the Ice Age.

Salk scientists use molecular "scissors" to eliminate mitochondrial mutations in eggs and embryos.

Five University of Guelph discoveries are being recognized as life-changing breakthroughs by the Council of Ontario Universities (COU).

A pair of genetics researchers at Iowa State University found striking patterns in the building blocks of DNA in a wide variety of species, according to their recently published paper.

UCLA researchers devise new method to identify disease markers, a key step toward personalized medicine.

New, block-by-block assembly method could pave way for applications in opto-electronics, drug delivery.

Bacteria may not have brains, but they do have memories, at least when it comes to viruses that attack them. Many bacteria have a molecular immune system which allows these microbes to capture and retain pieces of viral DNA that they have encountered in the past, in order to recognize and destroy it when it shows up again.

New research finds new link between these biological clocks and lung disease.
