Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...

In evolutionary biology, all life on Earth is theoretically part of a single phylogenetic tree, indicating common ancestry.

It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate ...

DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...

When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing the entire repair sequence as it unfolds. Instead of freezing cells at ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new picture of human origins that challenges the long-held idea of a single ancestral population in Africa. By analyzing genetic data from diverse modern African ...

Keeping you up to date with the chemistry news that matters most. Published by the American Chemical Society.

Every cell in every organism on Earth copies DNA the same way. Except one bacterial protein — quietly doing something ...

Researchers have engineered synthetic cells capable of mimicking biological division, a step toward artificial life systems.

Microsoft HyperV provides a robust disaster recovery solution through its built-in replication features. This guide explains how to set up asynchronous VM transfers between Windows Server 2025 hosts.
