But advances in the sequencing of ancient and modern DNA have allowed scientists to look more closely at how our genetic code has evolved over time—and the results are startling. Genetic studies ...

Gorillas and chimpanzees, though sharing DNA and habitats, exhibit distinct characteristics. Gorillas, the largest primates, ...

Two teams of scientists at Kyushu University in Japan and Stanford University in California determined that ginger cats’ color comes down to a missing segment of their genetic code, according to ...

and used the treatment to flip a "letter" in the genetic code. KJ from Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania, was born with a rare metabolic condition, called carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) ...

End capping of oligonucleotides is crucial for enhancing their stability and therapeutic efficacy by resisting 3’ exonuclease degradation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

This study identifies 53BP1 as an interaction partner of GMCL1 (a likely CUL3 substrate receptor). The study seeks to link this finding to regulation of the mitotic surveillance pathway and paclitaxel ...
