CpG density and epigenetic modification state modulate DNA mechanics, altering its intrinsic compatibility with nucleosome formation.

Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...

One ocean-dwelling creature found in many tropic waters is known to be able to reserve its own life cycle, cheating death.

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have identified a conserved small RNA molecule that enables bacteriophages ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are ...
