For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

One of the most pressing quests for molecular biologists is to understand the functioning of centromeres, the regions of DNA that hold together the two branches of chromosomes and that play a key role ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

When scientists sequenced the DNA of a woman who lived to 117, they were not just cataloging the quirks of an extraordinary life. They were probing a question that touches every family: why do some ...
