AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

High-resolution 3D womb model gives insights into embryo implantation, infertility, and signals between embryo and mother, ...

A human ‘tubuloid’ model captures the slow progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), addressing key limitations of animal ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...
