Osaka, Japan – Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Molecular mechanism uncovered in mice by UC Santa Cruz researchers reveals how a father’s diet, stress, and other ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Nucleosomes are barriers to RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribing along gene bodies in eukaryotes. We found that a fragile “tailless nucleosome” could be generated to resolve the Pol II pausing ...

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

Sugars essential for life were found for the first time alongside “space gum” on an asteroid hurtling towards Earth, indicating that our universe could be teeming with life, according to new research.

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The discovery came from studying tiny molecular messages ...
