Honoring Rosalind Franklin: the overlooked pioneer whose vital contributions to DNA research reshaped science and women's legacy.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

How does DNA structure itself from the very first moments of life? A team of researchers has just observed that DNA adopts a defined three-dimensional architecture much more rapidly than ...

Scientists have uncovered how brewer’s yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

The first and largest dataset of genomic structure variations specific to childhood cancers was published today by scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the National Cancer ...

This refers to DNA from animals that is found in the environment as a result of natural shedding. Think: dead skin, feces, ...

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

An extensive computational study predicts that gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules. This ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental ...

This article explains how diet creates sustained epigenetic changes that affect long-term health, disease risk, aging, and ...
