For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...
