Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

When NASA scientists opened the sample return canister from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample mission in late 2023, they found ...

Our cell biology researchers collaborate with molecular, structural, genetic, developmental and evolutionary biologists as well as experts in genomics, genetics, virology, infectious disease, ...

Biology — the science of life, living things and the processes that keep us all running — links up in essential ways with many other sciences, such as chemistry, physics and mathematics, which help us ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...
