Researchers at Columbia Engineering have for the first time used DNA to help create 3D electronically operational devices ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process ...

Research shows UV radiation modifies 3D genome structure, affecting DNA damage response and gene activity, offering insights ...

By unveiling Pol-theta's DNA-bound structure—its active state—the study provides a blueprint for designing more effective cancer drugs. "We now have a much clearer picture of how Pol-theta ...

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 ...
