In a groundbreaking shift in our understanding of mutations, researchers have discovered types of DNA damage in healthy cells that can remain unrepaired for years. While most types of DNA damage are repaired by the body's natural DNA repair mechanisms,

Texas DPS said it identified a man connected with a 1996 cold case of a woman who an Austin park was named after.

Researchers leverage their understanding of molecular motors to improve nanoscale artificial motors, aiming to bridge the speed gap between artificial motors and motor proteins. DNA-nanoparticle motor

Prosecutors say the evidence ties suspect Bryan Kohberger to the killings. However, his defense wants the evidence thrown out. Kohberger was arrested at his parents' home in the Pennsylvania Poconos in December of 2022, just over a month after the murders. Four students were found killed in their off-campus apartment.

After spending close to 49 years on death row, convicted mass murderer Tommy Zeigler could soon win his freedom.

The surprising paradigm shift could lead to much more protective sunscreens and effective skin treatments.

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer.

The hearing is expected to go for most of the day Thursday, with some portions closed to the public. A big topic up for discussion will be the use of investigative genetic genealogy.

Kohberger's attorneys say law enforcement violated his constitutional rights when they used a process called Investigative Genetic Genealogy, or IGG, to identify possible suspects.
