Deep in Arctic waters, the Greenland shark can live up to 400 years, a record among vertebrates. Scientists have now decoded ...

Brenna Henn had a long-term grant to study the genetic diversity of Africans and people of African descent. Then her N.I.H.

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

A new method of reversing Alzheimer's shows promise in an animal study, as researchers at University Hospitals restore brain ...

For more than a century, Alzheimer’s disease has been framed as irreversible. Once memory and thinking decline, recovery has ...

Using what is called Mendelian randomisation, this study provided strong evidence that obesity directly accelerates the ...

A new study has uncovered a previously overlooked hotspot for mutations at the starting points of human genes. These regions mutate far more often than expected, especially during the earliest stages ...

HEIDELBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AGC Biologics today announced it is partnering with Repair Biotechnologies to tackle one of the world's most persistent health challenges and cause of mortality.

The bowhead whale’s remarkable lifespan and low cancer risk stem from a finely tuned DNA repair system driven by a unique protein, CIRBP. Scientists found that this mechanism not only preserves the ...

King’s College London researchers discovered that parts of our DNA once thought to be “junk” can actually help destroy cancer cells. In some blood cancers, damaged genes trigger chaos in these DNA ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...
