In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...

The KLF5 gene fuels growth spreading pancreatic cancer not by acquiring abnormal changes in the cancer cells' DNA but by altering chemical changes and organization of DNA.
