Every cell in your body faces the same engineering puzzle: how to cram roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus just a few ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising secret about our DNA: it’s not a static blueprint, but a constantly shifting, folding structure that helps control how genes turn on and off. Researchers at the ...

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 ...

New research suggests DNA may not need activation, challenging a long-held idea about how life began and reshaping ...

Temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted the ...

The new method relies on methyl groups, small chemical tags attached to DNA that regulate whether genes are on or off. This ...
