The story of Chernobyl has long carried a chilling epilogue: that the people who rushed in to contain the disaster doomed not ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...
