Our DNA is often pictured as a simple spiral, like a piece of rope held taut. But inside cells, it folds into a complex three ...

The intricate process of duplicating genetic information, referred to as DNA replication, lies at the heart of the transmission of life from one cell to another and from one organism to the next. This ...

Researchers have discovered that a gene linked to congenital heart disease acts like an architect for the heart cell’s DNA.

The way DNA folds inside the nucleus of brain cells may hold the key to understanding a devastating form of brain cancer called glioblastoma, suggests a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don’t tell you where specific genetic ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute and the Arc Institute, along with their collaborators, unveiled the first body-wide single-cell atlas of two major epigenetic systems: three-dimensional genome folding ...

Researchers at universities in New York and Ningbo, China, say they have created tiny robots built from DNA that can reproduce themselves. Such nanorobots could one day launch search-and-destroy ...
