Learn more about peptideins and how researchers are shedding light on the dark proteome — the mysterious and largely unexplored layer encoded within our DNA.

For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

James Watson, one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA, has died in a New York hospice facility at the age of 97. Along with fellow researchers Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, he won the 1962 ...

The study focused on rare DNA damage-repair (DDR) disorders, including Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) and Bloom syndrome. These conditions disrupt the body’s ability to repair routine DNA damage, causing ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

A team of engineers at the University of Florida has developed a new form of CRISPR technology that could make diagnostics ...

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died. He was 97. The ...
