Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D and illustrates how its structure changes over time. According to the study, ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that ...

Gene regulation and chromatin dynamics constitute central themes in modern molecular biology, governing how the genetic blueprint is accessed and utilised during development, differentiation and ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
