Ever since moviegoers saw the first ‘Jurassic Park,’ millions have wondered if scientists could make a dinosaur in the lab.

Infections particular to our genome may have helped drive human-specific traits — plus, using heat to power DNA computers.

DNA computers can use biological material to perform mathematical functions and store information, but their power sources have been fragile. Researchers now say they’ve developed a reliable source: ...

When a key protein regulator dials down DNA repair mechanisms, our cells accumulate more mutations, which may cause us to age ...
