A Lund University study connects repetitive noncoding DNA with a gene-regulatory pathway that influences developmental timing ...

A study at Texas A&M University suggests that thymine may have helped early genetic molecules survive by directing that damage into a form that was easier to reverse. The findings, published in ...

What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain features and provides a road map to discover many more. The research could lead to ...

Nearly every cell in the human body contains essentially the same genetic information, yet different cells activate different genes. For regulatory proteins to reach these genes, DNA must be ...

Thymine suffers more UV damage than uracil in lab tests, but its damage pathways could help explain its place in DNA.
