Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a unique form of circular DNA that exists outside of normal chromosomes. Found exclusively in ...

AI-driven tools are helping people track—and potentially reverse—their biological age for longevity. Here's a look at the ...

A team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms. This technique is indistinguishable from natural variation and enabled the researchers to ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

That's because sex — and gender roles, too —permeates all the way down to the most unreproductive of cell types. If you want ...

Scientists report adaptive divergence in cryptic color pattern is underlain by two distinct, complex chromosomal rearrangements, where millions of bases of DNA were flipped backwards and moved from ...

Understanding the material basis of adaptive evolution has been a central goal in biology dating back to at least the time of ...

The distinction between biological and chronological age is vital for risk assessment and interventions aimed at enhancing longevity and quality of life.

"The work by our team outlines how cells follow a few simple rules to build chromosomes and fold DNA into these tiny, intricate structures during the mitotic phase of cell division." Co-leading ...
