Shorter telomeres are linked to higher risks of stroke, dementia, and depression, but lifestyle factors may help counteract ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during ...

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during ...

The study found that Prequel ® Prenatal Screen with AMPLIFY™ technology enables reliable results as early as eight-weeks’ gestation. Typically, prenatal cell-free DNA (pcfDNA) screening is offered ...

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes (typically XX for females, and XY for males). Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during ...

Scientists have discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one ...

The targeting of telomeres offers promise for new cancer therapies, which can be aimed at disrupting the mechanisms that ...

Researchers have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer. The research uncovers the vital role ...
