Study reveals how cells regulate repair protein production to prevent DNA damage over-repair or under-repair, aiding cell ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

From spaghetti to sausagesOur DNA is constantly being packed and unpacked. And there is a good reason for this: depending on ...

New research sheds light on how electrons interact with the innate vibrations within DNA molecules, known as phonons, which ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

A UNIGE team has identified two new proteins that regulate gene expression, a discovery that could pave the way for new cancer and brain disorder treatments.

This is the job of chromatin, a complex of proteins that packages and condenses DNA within the cell nucleus. However, in this condensed form, the DNA is unreadable and therefore inactive.

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

Myosin Condenses Biomolecules To Keep Cells Functioning Researchers show how directed motions combined with protein interactions influence biomolecular condensates.

Cold cases that once baffled investigators are getting solved with help of cutting-edge DNA technology In a "20/20" special report, David Muir weaves together two decades-long probes.

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...
