Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine suggests that the way DNA folds inside brain cells could play a key role in the ...

A team of researchers led by Prof. Xiao Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese ...

New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

Researchers have mapped non-B DNA motifs in the genomes of great apes, highlighting their potential role in genome evolution, ...

Researchers developed a cost-effective assay to be used with chemicals and potential carcinogens associated with reversible ...

An international research team has provided a detailed insight into how the spatial organization of genetic material is established in the cell nucleus of early embryos within the first hours after ...

The RNA cloud formed around genes regulates their readout into RNA. Triplexes help define where in the genome a cloud forms. Proteins and other flipons modulate the levels of gene expression. The ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue ...

Colorectal cancer, long associated with aging, is rising alarmingly in younger adults—especially those born in the 1980s.
