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 ...

[Editor’s note: The story has been updated with a statement from the governor’s office.] A Wasilla cardiologist and former member of the Alaska State Medical Board was arrested Thursday on numerous ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Starting this week, ADN has a new full-time opinion editor. Gary Black is joining us from the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, where he was managing editor for the past five years. He was with the ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Building on its success against COVID-19, mRNA technology holds promise for novel vaccines and treatments targeting various diseases. However, a critical challenge remains: current in vitro ...

Amanda Kay Montoya is an Associate Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Center for Open Science. She receives funding from the ...

Two new papers claim to show that AI has abilities that we should know about—including cloning itself. These technologies have vacuumed up millions of people’s work and can mimic code and phrasing.

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Scientists say AI has crossed a critical 'red line' after demonstrating how two popular large language models could clone themselves. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Chinese researchers have unveiled a remarkable breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI): advanced systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), now possess the ability to replicate ...
