A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence ...

How can a virus with only five proteins dominate a human cell that contains thousands? This question has long puzzled ...

A research group has demonstrated that overexpression of Cdc10-dependent transcript 1 (CDT1), a key regulator of DNA ...

A collaborative effort by the Formosa-Jordan lab from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

Scientists read ancient DNA from South African hunter gatherers and found a very early human branch that shaped survival ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...
