A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

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

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 ...

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.

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

To do their lab work, Laura Ross and her team must conduct an itty-bitty surgery. Ross, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, roots around in fungus-gnat parts because ...

DNA and RNA vaccines use genetic material to deliver information to human cells and elicit an immune response. DNA vaccines are safe, easy, affordable to produce, and, unlike RNA vaccines, are stable ...
