Honoring Rosalind Franklin: the overlooked pioneer whose vital contributions to DNA research reshaped science and women's legacy.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

The first and largest dataset of genomic structure variations specific to childhood cancers was published today by scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the National Cancer ...

After a decade of quiet groundwork in Australia, Royal London Asset Management has revamped its fund offerings and hired an ...

Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and genetic history.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...
