Scientists have long known that human genes spring into action through instructions delivered by the precise order of our DNA, directed by the four different types of individual links, or "bases," ...

The University of California San Diego researchers used artificial intelligence to identify a DNA activation code, which was previously known to be "an enigma," but can later be utilized in n ...

Why don't trees ever get sunburned? And could we harness their secret to protect our own skin? Researchers are studying how proteins called photolyases, which have been lost to humans through ...
