Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...

Technical advances allow researchers to trace the genetic changes that occur over time.

The human gut renews itself faster than any other tissue: every few days, new cells are created from specialized stem cells.

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...
