MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

Led by biomedical engineer Vadim Backman, the study reveals that DNA’s 3D physical structure holds a “geometric code” — a ...

What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

The 55th Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research has been awarded to professor Steven ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

In a promising advance for cancer treatment, Northwestern University scientists have re-engineered the molecular structure of ...

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack ...

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have published an analysis that reveals new functions of the ...
