Some animals age in ways that look very different from the way humans and most other species age. A small group of creatures can slow aging dramatically or even reset parts of their life cycle.

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

For many years, scientists have delved into human chromosomes and the DNA they carry, studying the genetic code in each cell ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...
