Every living cell must interpret its genetic code — a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions.

A large-scale Mendelian randomization study found no genetic evidence that vitamins A, C, or D reduce the risk of major ...

Alignment and sequencing errors are a major concern in molecular evolution, and this valuable study represents a welcome improvement for genome-wide scans of positive selection. This new method seems ...

The pathogen C. diff—the most common cause of health care-associated infectious diarrhea—can use a compound that kills the human gut's resident microbes to survive and grow, giving it a competitive ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

The unique characteristics of biological structures depend on the behavior of DNA sequences confined in a microscale cell under environmental fluctuations and dissipation. Here, we report a prominent ...

Therefore, our results confirmed that matrine is a special c-Myc inhibitor which suppresses ribosome biogenesis and nucleotide metabolism by inhibiting c-Myc in myeloid leukemia. This study provides ...
