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

Scientists have uncovered evidence that modern humans emerged from two long-separated ancestral groups, not just one. This ...

New research delves into the DNA details and chromatin structures that may predict prognosis in early-stage lung ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

can fold into a DNA structure called a G-quadruplex, or G4 for short, which is more compact than normal DNA. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a team of structural and molecular biologists ...
