CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts — James D. Watson, the pioneering molecular biologist whose 1953 co‑discovery of the DNA double‑helix reshaped science, died this week at 97, according to the Associated Press ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

Single-celled organisms have more complex DNA epigenetic code than multicellular life, researchers discover by Queen Mary, University of London edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been a critical turning point for life on Earth. For evolutionary biologists, what most distinguishes the ...

Did you know that many of us have up to 4% neanderthal DNA? Did you know that many of us have up to 4% neanderthal DNA? And that 100% of your DNA may come from outer space? No joke. The biochemistry ...

For the first time, scientists have captured the exact moment DNA begins to unravel, shedding light on a fundamental chemical process that enables DNA to serve as the blueprint for life. A recent ...
