From detecting a risk for a certain disease or solving a criminal case, the discovery of DNA has forever changed our lives.

Logan Cyr, 16, joined a global accelerator program for teens that enables him to research cures for genetic malformations.

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

In the interview, Lloyd M. Smith discusses proteoforms, an area of research worthy of the next Human Genome Project.

Rare genetic diseases are challenging for patients and their families—made all the more overwhelming because symptoms tend to ...

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington's disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like ...

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

By uncovering RNA’s previously unknown function to repair DNA damage, our findings show how RNA may directly contribute to the stability and evolution of the genome.

Once the DNA and RNA are sequenced, a computational model reconstructs their original locations by analyzing the physical links between UMI-tags, creating a spatial map of gene expression.

NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission. It's a win for alien life.

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

Until now, DNA and RNA epigenetics were studied as independent systems. These two mechanisms seemed to function separately, each playing its own role in distinct stages of the gene regulation process.
