A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has uncovered how one of the most common ...

Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

In cancer research, one person's junk is increasingly becoming another person's treasure. Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how recently evolved "junk DNA" genetic elements can become ...

Scientists have discovered that a gene normally considered a DNA-protecting "good guy" can become dangerous when cells make too much of it. The gene, EXO1, acts like molecular scissors that help ...

The health industry is littered with myths that promote fear-mongering. Amidst these health fads, it is important to identify ...
