DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Some DNA passed down from ancient hunter-gatherers has been found to be a crucial force in living to be 100 years old.

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

In a first, scientists have extracted DNA from a Renaissance-era drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but they can't be ...
