Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

YAHOO.COM - Sixty years after scientists described the chemical code of life — an interweaving double helix called DNA — researchers have found four-stranded DNA is also lurking in human cells. The ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...
