As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a ...

Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

A new study finds tiny Neanderthal DNA differences shaped their powerful jaws, revealing how small genetic changes influence ...

Study uncovers key insights about how a new class of antiviral drugs works. Cryo-EM images showed the drugs bound to herpes simplex virus (HSV) protein at nearly atomic detail, while optical tweezers ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

Donald Trump's administration is turning immigration screening into the backbone of a DNA surveillance system that reaches ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

This microbe can survive doses of radiation that would obliterate any other living thing. Here’s what this means for science ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.
