Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

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

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 ...

New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...

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 ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

Detectives often find important clues by digging through rubbish. That approach paid off tremendously for systems biologist ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...
