First came AlphaFold. Now comes AlphaGenome for DNA. When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by scientists. This innovative breakthrough promises to redefine the boundaries of ...

Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction.

The Pol-theta enzyme (blue) joins two parts of a broken DNA strand (yellow). This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer. LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors, ...

Previously unmapped sections of the genome explain how cells sense their mechanical environment and could open new paths for ...

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter. The cell manages this by ...

To explore how far our understanding of our DNA has come, Science News senior writer and molecular biology reporter Tina Hesman Saey talked with Eric Green, director of the National Human Genome ...

Researchers say the catalog has already led to the identification of genetic mechanisms involved in kidney cancer and will ...

REPAIRome specifically addresses the repair of one of the most serious types of DNA damage, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).

The human repairome, REPAIRome, will allow researchers around the world to rapidly check out how each of the 20,000 human ...
