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

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 ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

A research group has demonstrated that overexpression of Cdc10-dependent transcript 1 (CDT1), a key regulator of DNA ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you ...

Salk researchers uncovered a genetic mechanism that directs DNA methylation in Arabidopsis. Instead of relying solely on ...

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 ...

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

Mother Nature is perhaps the most powerful generative “intelligence.” With just four genetic letters—A, T, C, and G—she has crafted the dazzling variety of life on Earth. Can generative AI expand on ...
