Radiation Revealed: A Groundbreaking Study Unlocks the Effects on DNA”

In a world where the echoes of nuclear events still resonate, the recent release of wastewater from Japan's Fukushima disaster has reignited concerns over radiation exposure. While ionizing radiation—a known carcinogen—has been a subject of scientific study for decades, its precise impact on human cells...

Bronze Age women altered genetic landscape of Orkney

University of Huddersfield researchers used ancient DNA to rewrite the history of the Orkney islands. They wanted to show Orkney experienced large-scale immigration during the Early Bronze Age. This has replaced much of the local population. Orkney is famous for its archaeological heritage. During the...

New study reveals DNA maturations are random

University of California and Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology scientists have said that a simple roadside weed hold the key to understanding and predicting DNA mutation. The study was published in the journal Nature. This study can change our understanding of evolution. It can also...

Plants depend on the CLASSY gene family to diversify their epigenomes

A team at Salk has shown that the CLASSY gene family decides which parts of the genome are turned off in a tissue-specific manner. The CLASSYs essentially control where the genome is marked by DNA methylation. The addition of methyl chemical groups to the...
