We grow up hearing that our skin, hair, body shape, and even how we age are all written into our DNA. And yes—genetics leave ...

Study reveals 20 DNA markers in fast-twitch muscle that predict age within 4 years and explain why sprinting declines before ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have discovered a simple way to program synthetic molecules so they can form ...

Cancer isn't just about broken genes-it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off neighborhoods from essential services.

The developmental period is a critical window during which environmental cues interact with the genome to shape lifelong trajectories of health and disease.

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

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

This toxin, called colibactin, is made by certain strains of E. coli and other microbes that naturally live in the human gut.

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

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