Mitochondria don’t just generate energy—they also carefully organize their own DNA in a surprisingly elegant way. Scientists have discovered that a long-overlooked phenomenon called “mitochondrial ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

The results are transforming how scholars understand human history. By analysing parchment, researchers are uncovering ...

New research suggests DNA may not need activation, challenging a long-held idea about how life began and reshaping ...

DNA methylation data can be used to estimate biological age, but results across commercial tests differ, raising questions ...

Tiny organisms on the ground—bacteria and fungi—have a "superpower" that allows them to reach up into the atmosphere and pull ...

Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template called "doodling," opening new paths for ...

Airborne genetic material can be used to paint a picture of ecosystem health, watch for invasive species and even identify ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that ...

This review examines how next-generation protein sequencing and analysis technologies are expanding proteomics beyond the ...

Over time, plastics break into smaller and smaller fragments called microplastics and — when they’re invisible to the naked eye — nanoplastics. The human body’s mechanisms ...
