For generations, wine has been poured from glass bottles at picnics, braais and celebrations. But consumption is changing, ...
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 ...
New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...
A collaborative effort by the Formosa-Jordan lab from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, ...
The Jomon people—who eventually settled in what is now Japan—share little, if any, genetic connection to the Denisovan population that’s spread throughout Eurasia.
A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...
Cr yo-ET captured dozens of projection images of each slice from different angles. Computational processing then stitched ...
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 ...
DNA-binding proteins are proteins that bind to single- or double-stranded DNA, generally in the major groove if the binding is sequence-specific – as with transcription factors that regulate ...
Benign tumors are noncancerous growths in the body. They can occur anywhere in the body, grow slowly, and have clear borders. Unlike cancerous tumors, they don’t spread to other parts of the body. If ...
