Genetic switches near the FTO locus may enable hibernators’ extreme metabolic resilience and could inspire future treatments ...

That rogue scientist who created HIV-resistant designer babies is apparently gearing up for more human gene-editing research. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, He Jiankui said he wants to ...

More than 200 metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found sitting directly on top of human DNA, according to a study published in ...

A lab examination with mice made experts believe that humans could be carrying hidden superpowers. These "superpowers" are associated with hibernating animals, and apparently could also be present in ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s helical structure. By Delthia Ricks Franklin W. Stahl, a molecular biologist ...

Deep beneath the shifting sea ice of the Arctic Ocean, a massive marine mammal moves slowly through waters that remain near ...
