A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and ...

The double ring, spool-like structure of RAD52 protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A study led by the University of ...

Another protein, CTCF, attaches to locations of super-enhancer DNA and pairs them up with genes that they will later turn on ...

Scientists at the University of Iowa have made an exciting discovery that could lead to new cancer-fighting drugs. They found ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers ...

RNA epigenetic modifications have uncovered as not only an intermediary structure between DNA and protein or an effector ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Researchers have shown that differences in the entire rotavirus genome -- not just its two surface proteins -- affect how well vaccines work, helping to explain why some strains are more likely to ...

Researchers analyze various aspects of gene regulation, among which are the three-dimensional structure of the genome and DNA methylation, which differ for different cell types and play significant ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...
