Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about 0.01 mm in size, it must be tightly folded. DNA wraps around proteins call ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
