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

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 ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at replication origins, ensuring proper replication timing, and improving ...

Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

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

Stanford develops protein-to-DNA method enabling high-throughput protein sequencing Technique detects up to 1,000 times more ...

Most gene-editing tools are blind to context. Point them at a DNA sequence and they cut, whether that sequence sits inside a ...

Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...
