All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical...

Inside the cell reside many tiny assembly factories and warehouses that gather together all of the proteins and RNAs-which carry out instructions from...

To understand how organisms are related, researchers use molecular information to construct phylogenetic trees. Most of the time, scientists use...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome.

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage...
