Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin. During ...

Late last month, Anthropic claimed it had discovered a curious stretch of DNA in a virus called a bacteriophage that repeats ...

University of Miami doctoral student Bishal Shrestha is using artificial intelligence to detect unusual changes in DNA’s 3D ...

If you could peer inside a cell's nucleus, you would find DNA tightly packed into a remarkably small space. But that arrangement presents a puzzle: DNA molecules carry the same negative electrical ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would later reshape biology and our understanding of life itself. A ...

The extrusive and cohesive forms of cohesin have separate functions, but they also cooperate to repair DNA. Whether the two forms of cohesin can be converted into each other, and whether DNA repair ...

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, ...
