MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by ...

For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

Scientists have discovered a tardigrade protein, Dsup, that protects DNA from damage and may enhance human cellular resilience under extreme stress conditions.

Scientists have discovered how LINE-1, a “jumping gene” that makes up 17% of the human genome, inserts itself into DNA. Using ...

A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while ...
