Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

The convicted sex offender and the late Cold Spring Harbor Labs director maintained a relationship for years — even up until ...

By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

There may be twice as many vertebrates on the planet as previous estimates claimed, according to a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. That's ...

Northwestern researchers have shown that when it comes to cancer vaccines, arrangement can be just as important as ingredients. By repositioning a small fragment of an HPV protein on a DNA-based ...

In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's ...

Nguyen and her team solved this by designing a version of their molecule that remains liquid at room temperature. It requires ...

Discover how circular RNA technology enhances gene expression by up to 50-fold in eye treatments, surpassing traditional ...

Different DNA Structures Nucleate the Folding of Proteins to form specific complexes that modulate the readout of ...

A woman was buried with two children, but they were not her own. In another grave, two children were placed. They were not siblings and were more distantly related, perhaps cousins. In a new study ...

While social network research has traditionally focused on the benefits of supportive ties, new research identifies negative ...
