Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Steve Merski. Got a minute?

This year's prize is about the cells toolbox for repairing DNA.

Gorin Hansen, Secretary General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at about 5.50 a.m. Eastern Time.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2015 Nobel Prize in chemistry,

jointly to Thomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich, and Aziz Sanjar,

for mechanistic studies of DNA repair.

Thomas Lindahl is at the Francis Crick Institute and Claire Hall Laboratory in the UK.

Paul Modrich is at the Duke University School of Medicine,

and Aziz Sankar is at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Damages occur to your DNA every day.

Sarah Snuggar-up-Linza is the chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.

In fact, right here, right now, if all those errors were left uncorrected,

your genetic material would have very little resemblance to the original chromosomes

in your very first cell.

Life, as we know it today, is totally dependent on DNA repair mechanisms,

as have been revealed in molecular detail by this year's chemistry laureates.

Thomas Lindell showed that DNA, which had been thought to be a stable molecule,
