Link found between super-agers, or people with exceptional longevity, to inherited DNA from Ice Age hunter-gatherer ...

Its unearthly look is often accentuated by the presence of tiny crustacean parasites hooked into the corneas on its eyes, but ...

The Greenland shark is thought to live for about 400 years but somehow its eyes appear to barely deteriorate, according to a ...

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Scientists discovered that aging DNA repeats expand at wildly different speeds—and in some people, the consequences can be devastating. A sweeping genetic study drawing on data from more than 900,000 ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

In a new study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig analyzed the impact of more than 2,000 clinically approved drugs on DNA repair and CRISPR genome editing ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...
