Transposons, or "jumping genes" – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell University ...

Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective caps are crucial to the stability of chromosomes, and when telomeres ...

A Harvard study found that vitamin D supplements may help slow biological aging by protecting telomeres, the protective caps on DNA. Over four years, participants who took vitamin D lost fewer DNA ...
