In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Millions struggle with depression and anxiety, often enduring long waits for effective treatment. Scientists in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany are developing a genetic test to predict which medications ...

Scientists used traces of genetic material in seawater to reveal hidden patterns of biodiversity, finding marine fish in places where records said they were missing. The most significant finding is ...

Singapore, 24 October 2025 — Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a simple DNA “switch” that helps tropical butterflies adjust the size of their wing eyespots in ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
