Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment has been the focus of a 30-year research question. New work from the Crick ...

Damage to DNA in cancer cells can lead to pieces breaking off chromosomes and floating away, like icebergs cracking off a glacier. Just as icebergs are a threat to ships and their crew, these ...

These authors have equally contributed to this work. Bipolar disorder (BD) is a major mood disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While DNA methylation from peripheral tissues ...

In turn, this slowed new DNA synthesis at replication forks, structures in which double strands of DNA separate to begin the copying process. The cells' attempt to restart the stalled replication fork ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way large language models like ChatGPT read text. Scanning the genome for ...

Researchers recently identified food DNA on the Shroud of Turin — a finding that suggests the burial cloth believed to have wrapped Jesus Christ may have been contaminated over time. In a preprint ...

The Shroud of Turin, claimed by some to have wrapped the body of Jesus after his crucifixion, got a publicity boost during Easter week with the release of new research that suggests that the relic may ...

Some of your most important life partners are the mitochondria that power all your cells. You and these little cellular powerhouses are in a 1.5-billion-year-old evolutionary relationship-but ...

The Shroud of Turin's origins remain debated despite extensive scientific study. DNA analysis revealed diverse human, animal, and plant contamination from many eras and regions. Exact origin and ...

The historical lore behind the Shroud of Turin is fascinating. Notwithstanding the grand claim that the linen cloth enveloped Jesus Christ himself, the exact origins and genetic content of the relic ...

Just in case this mythological robe wasn’t shrouded in enough mystery. Analysis has revealed DNA belonging to plants, animals and even people of Indian descent on the Shroud of Turin, deepening the ...

You can download and 3D print the little spaceman from Project Hail Mary, and it's inspiring, like the movie itself. James has been writing about technology for years ...
