Maui officials have asked relatives to provide DNA samples to help identify victims of the Lahaina wildfires. Time and exposure to the elements, however, can make DNA retrieval from remains difficult.

The largest ever study of the genetics of the brain – encompassing some 36,000 brain scans – has identified more than 4,000 genetic variants linked to brain

MIT engineers developed a new way to create these arrays, by scaffolding quantum rods onto patterned DNA.

In addition to turning on genes involved in cell defense, the STING protein also acts as an ion channel, allowing it to control a wide variety of immune responses.

Ancient DNA reveals for the first time where workers buried at Machu Picchu more than 500 years ago came from within the lost Inca Empire.

MIT researchers find timing and dosage of DNA-damaging drugs are key to whether a cancer cell dies or enters senescence.

Many of the amino acids that make up proteins are encoded by genetic material in more than one way. An information theorist explains how principles of nature may account for this variance.

Until now, researchers have not known much about the first steps of insulin synthesis, but a new study solves part of the mystery.

Cambridge researchers are helping launch a nationwide study for children and young to unlock the power of our DNA.

Whitehead Institute researchers find many transcription factors bind RNA, which fine-tunes their regulation of gene expression, suggesting new therapeutic opportunities.
