With DNA focused almost entirely on replication, newly discovered organism blurs the line between cells and viruses

New blood tests promise to detect malignancies before they’ve spread. But proving that these tests actually improve outcomes remains a stubborn challenge.

Andrea Sella is latest scientist to express dismay over UK science academy’s refusal to criticise tech billionaire

The NIH archives of the Human Genome Project could fall victim to Trump administration cuts, writes a former archivist.

"The risk/benefit calculus of providing free & open access to individual genetic data in 2025 is very different compared to 14 years ago."

President Trump has announced a sweeping plan of tariffs against dozens of nations, including the Antarctic Heard and McDonald Islands, which are u...

A few months ago, Dorothy Bishop resigned her fellowship in the Royal Society in protest at Elon Musk’s continuing fellowship. This was a highly principled stand. Eight weeks ago, Steven Curr…

Dalal et al. show how AI can be used to systematically uncover the sequence rules that guide how signaling pathways interact with DNA inside cells. This work provides a new lens for discovering the co...

A compelling new study adds to the body of data supporting some protection provided by the vaccine

A guest post by Dr Anne Toomey, author of the book "Science with Impact: How to Engage People, Change Practice, and Influence Policy".

Liu et al. reveal that oocytes independently mediate the transgenerational inheritance of PCOS. Caloric restriction effectively hinders this transmission by restoring disrupted DNA methylation in insu...

In their Review article, Fuchs and colleagues discuss how a single or a few mutations in adult cells can lead to invasive cancers without a high mutational burden, demonstrating that non-genetic factors induce the epigenetic changes necessary for tumorigenesis.

The findings suggest that AI contributes to the early detection of clinically relevant breast cancer and reduces screen-reading workload without increasing false positives.

Despite extensive mapping of cis-regulatory elements (cREs) across cellular contexts with chromatin accessibility assays, the sequence syntax and genetic variants that regulate transcription factor (T...

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.
