Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
Researchers showed that in C. elegans, the protein MBD-2 regulates genes through repressive histone marks rather than DNA ...
The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...
On a foggy Saturday morning in 1953, a tall, skinny 24-year-old man fiddled with shapes he had cut out of cardboard. They represented fragments of a DNA molecule, and young James Watson was trying to ...
