New details of how DNA protects itself from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation show a hidden network of ultrafast molecular ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA ...

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

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...
