Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations ...

Some experts think “xenobot” cells that reorganize themselves after death signify a form of consciousness—while others ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

Giant tortoises are some of the long-lived species on the planet. Here’s what biologists now understand about one of nature’s ...
