Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion.

Researchers discovered that HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus) actively reshapes the 3D layout of human DNA within hours of ...

Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the host's cellular machinery to ...

There is more movement in our genome than we think. Almost half of the human genome consists of transposons—short DNA ...

Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens ...

Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the ...

LINE-1, a "jumping gene" making up 20% of the genome, invades DNA during cell division using protein-RNA clusters, offering ...

A new genome mapping model uncovered 62 key trait loci in bananas, overcoming chromosomal barriers and aiding future crop ...

A research team has identified genetic factors that influence the shape of subcortical brain regions—far beyond volume ...

Genomic research holds incredible promise for improving human health, but one major challenge has slowed its progress: ...

Genome evolution is the process by which a genome changes in structure over time, through mutation, horizontal gene transfer, and sexual reproduction. The study of genome evolution involves ...
