The Central Board of Secondary Education schedules Class 10 and 12 exams from February 17, 2026, highlighting key questions and topics.

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 ...

Our hunter-gatherer ancestors have given us many things. They passed down mastery of fire for cooking and early survival technologies, such as stone tools. They may also have given us the secret to a ...

Running out of space on your phone? Don't upgrade your cloud-storage subscription just yet. Scientists in China have discovered that images, text files and other digital data can be stored in strands ...

A recent study on DNA microarray technology highlights its essential role in enabling high-throughput analysis of large numbers of genes through arrays of probes integrated on a solid-phase support.

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died, according to ...

This statement might sound like a line from a sci-fi movie, but what if life on Earth didn’t start here at all? For decades, that question sat on the fringe of science, it was filed next to crop ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

A new study shows that DNA forms coils under stress, not the tangled knots that scientists expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...
