AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

Scientists have identified a new ultraviolet‑absorbing compound in microscopic algae that functions as a natural shield ...

Fossils can reveal far more than the shapes of ancient creatures. Molecules preserved inside old animal bones provide clues about past diseases, what those animals ate, and the climates they lived in.
