DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Scientists at Rice University have unveiled a breakthrough technique that could fundamentally change how DNA is designed for ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...

Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

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 ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...
