Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's helical structure. Franklin's meticulous analysis provided precise measurements ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

Explore how HPV tumours are targeted by innovative vaccine designs that enhance immune response against cancer effectively.

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster.

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

When a routine DNA test reveals that you are not related to your own child, the result may feel impossible or irrational; however, this is not an error, but evidence of a rare condition in which one ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops, and how you respond to disease. Department of Labor under fire for language similar to ...
