Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases we know. It commonly impacts the lungs, but can also ...

It turns out that the answer was no: Your dog’s genes don’t predict its behavior, at least not in the simplistic way popular doggy DNA tests often claim.

A Nobel laureate, he identified an enzyme that cuts DNA, laying the groundwork for milestones in scientific research and ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.
