Nobel laureate James Watson was expelled from his own laboratory after controversial racial statements that shook the scientific world.

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD A longitudinal study shows that puberty may reprogram children’s epigenetic profiles in ways that ...

For many years, researchers believed that the DNA inside a newly fertilized egg began as a structural ‘blank slate’ – a loose ...

A recent study by Fred Hutch biochemist Christopher Lapointe, PhD, and his colleagues, uses innovative lab techniques to ...

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...

Within a few centuries, the genetic landscape of the Rhine-Meuse region, including the wetlands, was completely reshaped. Our colleagues found that, 4,400 years ago, less than 20% of the ancestry of ...

Muscle loss (atrophy) due to inactivity is common after illness, injury, hospitalization or falls, and becomes increasingly ...

Shifting the focus from organ to biomarker has unlocked new options for rare and advanced cancers. Uneven efficacy, diagnostic access, and regulation still slow clinical rollout.

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...
