Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Tokyo team built a neutral PEG-DNA complex that boosted gene expression in mouse muscle, avoiding cation-linked inflammation.

DNA, long known as the molecule that carries genetic information, is taking on a new role in science. Researchers now see it ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...
