When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

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

It's a major discovery of the 21st century: knowing the structure of DNA has revolutionized our knowledge of life, medicine ...

A new paper based on long-lost documents confirms that DNA discoverer Rosalind Franklin should be credited for discovering the double helix. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in nuclear DNA. These lesions disrupt energy production and activate ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
