Assistant Professor Ariel Furst and her colleagues are looking to DNA to help guide the process.

Cancer-fighting "chameleon compounds" offer a potentially powerful new approach to treating drug-resistant glioma tumors in the brain and spinal cord.

A new ultra-sensitive DNA test that identifies Lyme disease in horses could have applications for dogs and humans, too, researchers report.

New research reveals that the "guardian of the genome," a protein called RPA, doesn't work alone on DNA repair.

A major study of children with intellectual disabilities has highlighted the additional challenges that they often face, including a much-increased likelihood

The first hammerhead shark was likely the result of a genetic deformity. A biologist explains how shark DNA reveals hammerheads’ history.

The protective caps at the ends of chromosomes naturally shorten over time. Researchers found that direct damage can prematurely trigger senescence and contribute to age-related diseases like cancer.

Plant breeding, informed by genetic analysis, could be critical to the future of one of the world’s oldest crops.
