Breakthrough molecular movie reveals DNA's unzipping mechanism with implications for viral and cancer treatments

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

Exposure to an E. coli mutagenic toxin colibactin increases risk of early onset colorectal cancer. Made me say ‘Wow!’ But isn’t surprising on reflection.

Childhood Exposure to Bacterial Toxin Tied to Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer

Genetic findings reveal how early exposure to a DNA-damaging toxin from gut bacteria may contribute to the global rise in younger populations.

When institutional review fails the consequences can be disastrous for patients. Will “Nature” retract the publication?

Thinking about how #creationists refer to #EvolutionaryTheory as "Darwinism" as if to imply biologists worship #Darwin as a false prophet.
Of course this is bs because the modern theory is built on a 20th century synthesis of #MolecularGenetics and #DevelopmentalBiology, which support (1/4)
