More than seven decades later, mathematician Robert Monjo believes he has discovered a similarly significant double helix — ...

Researchers from the Mattiroli group have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself ...

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Nucleic acids are named for where they're found—inside the nuclei of cells—and for the ...

Life Sciences Center (LSC) have discovered a unique way for cells to silence specific genes without cutting DNA. This ...

Chromatin as a guide Every day, our cells divide. Each time they need to copy both their DNA and the structure in which the DNA is packed. This packaging, called chromatin, acts as a guide. It tells ...

The Earth BioGenome Project seeks to genetically profile over a million plants, animals, and fungi as they build an atlas of ...

Every day, our cells divide. Each time they need to copy both their DNA and the structure in which the DNA is packed. This packaging, called chromatin, acts as a guide. It tells the cell how, where ...

Scientists at Vilnius University have developed a novel gene silencing method using a type IV-A CRISPR system that silences ...

Fearful memories are known to recruit neurons in a specific region of the brain called the amygdala. When we experience something frightening, the amygdala signals to other brain regions involved in ...

A recent DNA study has upended long-held theories about the people who died in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, revealing ...

Scientists have discovered a way to target elusive circular fragments of DNA that drive the survival of some of the most aggressive cancers, paving the way for future treatments.
