A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Danish researchers believe that everyone should monitor their blood folate levels. They argue that a deficiency in folic acid ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...
