A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

A study published today in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

For many years, researchers believed that the DNA inside a newly fertilized egg began as a structural ‘blank slate’ – a loose ...

Geneticists have a better understanding of how prehistoric pairings unfolded, with new research suggesting they were mostly ...

Alan Herbert, Founder and President of InsideOutBio, discusses the evolution of biological concepts related to DNA and protein structures ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...
