Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

A French research team led by CNRS scientists has discovered that cells are able to retain a memory of a previous perturbation within the 3D structure of their genome, independently of their DNA ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that ...

Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid ...

Gene regulation and chromatin dynamics constitute central themes in modern molecular biology, governing how the genetic blueprint is accessed and utilised during development, differentiation and ...

This biography of the 1962 Nobel Prize-winning scientist reveals a mighty intellect who loved the arts as much as science.

By blending scientific accuracy with creative design, one builder hopes to make the history of DNA accessible, interactive, ...
